Purpose: Several small studies have reported that acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) can occur after lung resection for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, though the incidence rate is unclear. Methods: We examined our institutional data and performed a search o...
