Abstract: Objective  To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant programmed receptor 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods  This study included 176 patients with stage ⅠB~Ⅲ resectable NSCLC who received neoadjuvant   immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy  at our research center from January 2021 to December 2023. Totally, 159 patients (90.34%) received surgical treatment, including 42 cases of adenocarcinoma and 115 cases of squamous cell carcinoma. Results  The median number of neoadjuvant treatment cycles was 2, with 4 patients (2.5%) achieving complete response (CR), 115 patients (72.3%) achieving partial response (PR), and 40 patients (25.2%) assessed as stable disease (SD) with only 2 cases of tumor enlargement; After surgery, 96 patients (60.4%, 95% CI: 52.7%-68.1%) achieved major pathological response (MPR), and 74 patients (46.5%, 95% CI: 38.7%-54.4%) achieved pathological complete  response (pCR); Multivariate analysis showed that gender and programmed ligand 1 (PD-L1) significantly influenced the rates of MPR and pCR. Conclusion  Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy showed initial efficacy in resectable stage ⅠB~Ⅲ NSCLC, and the expression level of PD-L1 may be a predictive factor for MPR and pCR.
