Update: non-invasive ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with malignant pleural disease (MPD) was considered to be contraindication for surgery, but sometimes MPD was unexpectedly found intraoperatively. There was no consensus on the role of surgical intervention on the primary tumor in patients with MPD. The object of this resea...
