2 FIGURE 1 Seventy-one-year old man with squamous cell lung cancer. A, Coronal chest CT while patient had progressive disease under platinum-based chemotherapy shows a 5.2 cm left upper lobe mass. The mass (M) involved the left pulmonary artery (straight arrow), left superior pulmonary vein (curved arrow), the left main bronchus (B) as well as the left subclavian artery (not shown). A-Transverse aorta. B, Coronal chest CT 5 weeks following treatment with BAY (sorafenib, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor). There has been interval cavitation of the mass. The patient died of massive hemoptysis 2 months after initiation of BAY , 1 month after this chest CT.

3 FIGURE 2 Progression-free survival (A) and overall survival (B) as assessed by cavity formation (excluding those patients with preexisting cavities). Progfree—progression-free survival.
