Experience with the "da Vinci" robotic system for early-stage thymomas: Report of 23 cases.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. However, outcomes have gradually improved after the introduction of novel immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Although programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor tissues is a known...
