This single-center observational cohort study conducted at Bordeaux University Hospital aims to establish a structured clinico-biological platform in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to investigate the biological mechanisms involved in tumor initiation, progression, and relapse across all disease stages (I-IV). A total of 150 consecutive adult patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC will be included over a 3-year period. Tumor samples will undergo translational analyses. These biological data will be correlated with pseudonymized clinical data collected from medical records and the institutional clinical data warehouse. The primary objective is to characterize the molecular, metabolic, and immune mechanisms associated with tumor progression and recurrence in NSCLC. The central hypothesis is that integrating comprehensive clinical data with in-depth molecular and immunological analyses of tumor tissues will identify biologically distinct patterns associated with disease evolution, therapeutic resistance, and prognosis. Such integrated clinico-biological signatures may improve patient stratification and contribute to the identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in NSCLC.
