Rationale Benchmarking the proportion of patients who are able to provide paired samples of blood and viable tumour tissue is important in oncogene-addicted metastatic NSCLC patients as investigators have now entered the era of genotype-guided post-progression targeted therapies. In the early-stage operable NSCLC context, benchmarking the feasibility of paired samples is of interest as neoadjuvant CPI-based therapy has recently emerged as a new standard of care strategy. As such, investigators have defined the following cohorts within our study: Cohort 1: Oncogene-addicted NSCLC, due to commence new line of targeted therapy * Sub-cohort 1A: treatment naïve, oncogene-addicted NSCLC * Sub-cohort 1B: pre-treated, oncogene-addicted NSCLC, received prior targeted therapy * Sub-cohort 1C: pre-treated, oncogene-addicted NSCLC, no prior targeted therapy (can have received chemotherapy/CPI/chemo-CPI) Cohort 2: Early-stage operable NSCLC undergoing neoadjuvant CPI therapy Primary aim To estimate the feasibility of collecting paired samples of blood and viable tissue in patients with: * Oncogene-addicted metastatic NSCLC commencing new line of targeted therapy at progression (Cohort 1), and * Early-stage operable NSCLC undergoing neoadjuvant CPI-based therapy (Cohort 2) Viable tissue is defined by the presence of viable tumour cells. Viable tumour cells are defined by those with well-preserved architectural and cytological features, in line with the latest recommendation from the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), evaluated by a specialist pulmonary pathologist using a haematoxylin \& eosin (H\&E) stained slide. Secondary aims To estimate the feasibility of obtaining viable tissue samples at: * Baseline (sub-cohort 1B) * PD (Cohort 1) * Surgery (Cohort 2) Exploratory aims * To identify genes/proteins associated with disease progression on targeted therapy (Cohort 1) * To measure levels of tumour cell-recognising antibodies in patients on targeted therapy (Cohort 1) * To identify genes/proteins associated with tumour regression (Cohort 2)
