Poor pulmonary function precluding radical surgery (inadequate pulmonary reserve for radical surgery) with predicted post-resection forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \< 0.8 liter or \< 40% predicted, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) \< 40% predicted
Poor performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] 3-4)
Significant concurrent medical problems (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, active cardiac problems, significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) making the patient unfit for surgery
Pregnant or lactating females
