Fig. 1 Outcomes for 176 patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Stage I non–small-cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic radiotherapy between 2003 and 2010. (A) Local control; (B) overall survival; (C) overall survival stratified by COPD severity. FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second.

Fig. 2 Survival outcomes for patients with Stage I NSCLC with severe ventilatory dysfunction after surgery or stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT). Values plotted are 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival as extracted from Kaplan-Meier curves. Superscript numbers refer to references. C = current study.
