* Diagnosed as stage III.
* Tumor should be considered resectable before study entry by a multidisciplinary team.
* ECOG (Performance status) 0-1.
* Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria and should be obtained within 7 days prior to treatment.

Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin \< 3.0 mg/dL) vii. The patients need to have a forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≥ 1.2 liters or \>40% predicted value viii. INR/APTT within normal limits.
* Women of childbearing potential, including women who had their last menstrual period in the last 2 years, must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before randomization.
* All sexually active men and women of childbearing potential must use an effective contraceptive method (two barrier methods or a barrier method plus a hormonal method) during the study treatment and for a period of at least 12 months following the last administration of trial drugs.
* Patient capable of proper therapeutic compliance and accessible for correct follow-up.
* Measurable or evaluable disease (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria).

Exclusion Criteria:

* All patients carrying activating mutations in the TK domain of EGFR or any variety of alterations in the ALK gene.
* central type, with empty lung squamous cell carcinoma or non-small cell lung cancer with hemoptysis (\>50 mL/day).
* Patients with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of randomization. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses \> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
* Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease cannot be included if they have symptomatic ILD (Grade 3-4) and/or poor lung function. In case of doubt please contact trial team.
* Patients with other active malignancy requiring concurrent intervention and/or concurrent treatment with other investigational drugs or anti-cancer therapy.
* Patients with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and the following in situ cancers: bladder, gastric, colon, endometrial, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to study entry AND no additional therapy is required during the study period.
* Any medical, mental or psychological condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not permit the patient to complete the study or understand the patient information.
* Patients who have had prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell costimulation or immune checkpoint pathways.
* Patients with positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection.
* Patients with known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
* Patients with history of allergy to study drug components excipients. Women who are pregnant or in the period of breastfeeding.
