Awake thoracic surgery versus chemical pleurodesis for intractable secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

abstract：:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with lymph node (LN) metastasis is generally associated with a poor prognosis. However, we treated ICC with LN metastasis successfully by surgery and postoperative immunotherapy in a 59-year-old woman. The immunotherapy consisted of CD3-activated T cells and tumor lysate- or pepti...
