Figure 2. Timeline of CT examinations before surgery. (A) On the first CT before therapy, a solid nodule was found in the right upper lobe, measuring approximately 10×9 mm, with irregular margins. Enlarged R10 and L4 lymph nodes were also found in the mediastinum. (B) One month after neoadjuvant therapies, CT showed decreased size of the nodule beneath the pleura (from 10×9 mm to 5×4 mm) and reduced size of R10 and L4 lymph nodes. (C) Two months after neoadjuvant therapies but before surgery, CT showed the nodule beneath the pleura had remained the same size (5×4 mm) and the lymph node had decreased in size (from 28×18 mm to 17×16 mm).
