2 Fig 1 Chest computed tomographic scan. (A) Before adjuvant chemotherapy, a huge mass invaded the lateral chest wall and mediastinum, which was deviated to the left. (B) Five months after beginning chemotherapy, the tumor is greatly shrunk, the mediastinum returns to its normal position, and there is clear separation between the tumor and the mediastinum. The tumor is relatively hypodense, suggesting large-scale necrosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
