Brief summary: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Icotinib as neoadjuvant in EGFR-mutant Stage ⅢA-N2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer which can be potentially radical treated by surgery.

Detailed description: Patients with EGFR-mutant Stage ⅢA-N2 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer which can be potentially radical treated by surgery are arranged to receive Icotinib with a dose of 125 mg three times per day orally for 8 weeks as neoadjuvant therapy; then patients with clinical benefits receive surgical resection of the tumor. If there is curative effect of Icotinib according to the RECIST or pathological report, the patients will continue receive Icotinib for two years as adjuvant therapy after surgery or till progressive disease or unaccepted toxicity. The primary objective of this study is evaluate the efficacy and safety of Icotinib neoadjuvant therapy.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Histology or cytology confirmed Non-small Cell Lung Cancer; EGFR mutation (EGFR 19del and/or 21L858R) detected by tumor tissue biopsy of primary lesion or metastatic lesion or plasma ctDNA
* No previous anti-tumor treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or biological therapy
* Stage IIIA N2 NSCLC according to the pathological evidence of endobronchial ultrasound(EBUS) or PET-CT, the short-axis diameter of lymph node 1-2cm, and considered surgically resectable at baseline by the surgical oncologist
* Sufficient tumor histological specimens (non-cytology) for molecular marker analysis
* At least one lesion with measurable diameter and its longest diameter is large than 10 mm by CT measurement
