(ii) Thoracoscopic surgery without resection of the lung, esophagus, and mediastinum. (iii) Wedge resection of a benign tumor on the contralateral side. (10) No history of radiotherapy to the lung, hilum, or mediastinum for other cancers. (11) No prior surgery with general anesthesia within 14 days. (12) No findings suggestive of interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis on the chest computed tomography. (13) No active autoimmune disease.
