Brief summary: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study for evaluating anlotinib combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy in locally advanced, unresectable NSCLC.

Detailed description: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled phase II clinical study for evaluating anlotinib combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation immunotherapy in locally advanced, unresectable NSCLC. In this study, the enrolled patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group at a ratio of 1:1. The patients in the experimental group received anlotinib combined with curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy first, while the patients in the control group received curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Those who are evaluated as CR, PR or SD after the aforementioned treatment will enter consolidation immunotherapy. Patients will receive tislelizumab 200mg iv. drip, Q3W, for up to 12 months.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* informed consent is required before proceeding with any steps in the study;
* Male or female 18-75 years old;
* Patients must be locally advanced, unresectable (stage IIIA-IIIC) with histology reported NSCLC (except for central squamous cell carcinoma or those at risk for massive hemoptysis);
* No prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or targeted therapy;
* Tumor sample requirements: must provide sufficient evidence to allow analysis Stained, archived tumor tissue samples;

* Men who have sex with WOCBP must agree to adhere to contraception during study drug treatment and for 6 months after the last study drug treatment;
* azoospermic men do not have to adhere to contraceptive requirements. Adolescents of childbearing potential without heterosexual sex (WOCBP) do not have to comply with contraceptive requirements, but must still undergo a pregnancy test as described in this section;

* No Controlled complications, including but not limited to persistent or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, poorly controlled hypertension, unstable angina, arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active hemorrhagic Illness, including any known HBsAg-positive patient with HBV DNA \> 500 IU/ml, Hepatitis C or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), or mental illness that would limit compliance with study requirements or impair the patient's ability to give written informed consent/ Social status;
* History of another primary malignancy within 5 years prior to initiation of therapy, excluding adequately treated skin basal or squamous cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ;
* Pregnant, breastfeeding women; Contraceptive method, male or female of reproductive potential; - Conditions that may interfere with the evaluation of the efficacy or safety of the treatment.
* Patients who progressed after concurrent chemoradiotherapy;
* History of tuberculosis, excluding old pulmonary tuberculosis;
* Received live attenuated vaccine within 30 days before study initiation or within 30 days after tislelizide;
* In Use of immunosuppressive drugs within 28 days prior to the first dose of tislelizumab. Of these, intranasal inhaled corticosteroids at physiological doses are excluded; prednisone or an equivalent amount of systemic corticosteroids not exceeding 10 mg per day is excluded. Steroids are permitted for management of chemoradiotherapy-related toxicity;
* Patients with unrecovered CTCAE \> 2 toxicity after prior targeted combination chemoradiotherapy will be excluded from randomization;
* due to prior targeted combined chemoradiotherapy, patients with grade ≥2 pneumonitis undergoing chemotherapy will be excluded from randomization.
