Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of any active infection or underlying condition that could compromise the safety of tissue and blood sampling. * Prior history of another malignancy that might interfere with data interpretation related to non-small cell lung cancer progression and immune response. * Any current use of immunosuppressive medications (e.g., high-dose steroids) which might alter immune response assessments, except as part of non-small cell lung cancer treatment. * Pregnancy and breastfeeding
