• Agreed to the collection of tumor histological specimens required for the study and their use in related studies
• Agreed to radical surgical treatment
• Patients with no surgical contraindications judged by specialists
• The subjects must possess adequate pulmonary function to undergo the anticipated lung resection surgery

The primary organ functions are normal and should meet the following criteria:

• Pulmonary ventilation function tests must demonstrate that FEV1 is ≥ 1.5 L, or that the expected FEV1 after lobectomy or pneumonectomy is ≥ 800 mL.
• The criteria for routine blood tests are as follows (no blood transfusions or blood products within the past 14 days, and no use of G-CSF or other hematopoietic growth factors for correction): Hemoglobin (HB) must be ≥ 90 g/L; Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) must be ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L; Platelet count (PLT) must be ≥ 80 × 10^9/L.
• Biochemical examinations should meet the following criteria: Total Bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN; Serum Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or Creatinine Clearance Rate (CCr) ≥ 60 mL/min.
• For patients who have not previously received anticoagulant therapy, Prothrombin Time International Normalized Ratio (INR) should be ≤ 1.5, and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) should be ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal values. Patients receiving full-dose anticoagulant therapy or parenteral anticoagulation may enter clinical trials if their dosage has been stable for at least two weeks prior to enrollment and coagulation test results fall within local treatment limits.
• Women of childbearing age (ages 15-49 years) are required to undergo a urine pregnancy test within seven days prior to initiating treatment, with a negative result being mandatory.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with large cell carcinoma, mixed cell lung cancer, and small cell lung cancer components
• Imaging (CT or MRI) shows that the tumor lesion is less than 5 mm away from the large blood vessels, there is a central tumor that is less than or equal to 2cm away from the bronchial tree; Or significant pulmonary cavity or necrotic tumor
• Any systemic anticancer treatment for NSCLC, These included cytotoxic drug therapy, immunodrug therapy, and investigational therapy
• Patients who had local radiotherapy for NSCLC
• Patients who had cancer other than NSCLC in the five years prior to the start of treatment in this study. Excluding cervical carcinoma in situ, cured basal cell carcinoma, and bladder epithelial tumors [including Ta and Tis]
• Patients who have previously used anlotinib and other anti-angiogenic agents
• Patients who have previously used benmelstobart, or other anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-1 antibodies, As well as any other antibody or drug therapy that targets T cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways, such as ICOS or agonists (e.g. CD40, CD137, GITR, OX40, etc.)
• Allergy to any component of anlotinib or benmelstobart
• Multiple factors that affect oral medications (e.g. Inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction)
• Patients with any severe and/or uncontrolled disease, including: 1) patients with unsatisfactory blood pressure control (systolic ≥150 mmHg, diastolic ≥100 mmHg); 2) Have grade I or higher myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, arrhythmia (including QTc≥480ms), and ≥ grade 2 congestive heart failure (NYHA rating); 3) Abnormal coagulation function (INR>1.5 or prothrombin time (PT) >ULN+4 seconds or APTT >1.5 ULN), have a tendency to bleed or are receiving thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy; Note: Under the premise of INR ≤ 1.5, the use of low dose heparin (adult daily dose of 0.6 thousand to 12 thousand U) or low dose aspirin (daily dose of 100 mg or less) is permitted for preventive purposes; 4) Active or uncontrolled serious infection; 5) Cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, active hepatitis or chronic hepatitis require antiviral therapy; 6) Renal failure requires hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; 7) Have a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV positive or suffering from other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation; 8) Poor diabetes control (fasting blood glucose (FBG) > 10 mmol/L); 9) Urine routine indicated urine protein ≥++, and confirmed 24-hour urine protein quantity > 1.0g; 10) Patients who have seizures and require treatment; 11) Wounds or fractures that have not healed for a long time;
• Clinically significant hemoptysis (> 50ml daily hemoptysis) occurred within 2 weeks before enrollment; Or clinically significant bleeding symptoms or a definite tendency to bleed, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, stool occult blood ++ or above at baseline
• Patients with imaging evidence that the tumor has invaded important blood vessels or who are determined by the investigators to be highly likely to invade important blood vessels and cause fatal major bleeding during follow-up studies
• Patients with prior interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial disease, radiation pneumonia requiring hormone therapy, or any clinically demonstrated active interstitial lung disease
• Patients with acute arterial/venous thrombosis events, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism within 6 months

• In the investigator's judgment, the patient may have other factors that might have forced the study to be terminated. Such as other serious diseases or serious laboratory abnormalities or associated with other factors that may affect the safety of the subject, or the family or society of the test data and sample collection
