Fig 2 — This 66-year-old man had initial lung to lung metastasis, and the disease was controlled by chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin. However, tumors at left upper lobe and mediastinum progressed 5 months after diagnosis. Mediastinal lesions improved after chemotherapy with gemcitabine and vinorelbine, but left upper lung tumor remained stationary. Thoracic radiotherapy (RT) with 55 Gy in 25 fractions was applied to left lung tumor and 45 Gy in 25 fractions to mediastinal lymphatics using IMRT. Complete remission of thoracic lesions was achieved five months after completing RT. Only grade 1 radiation pneumonitis was noted. He remained disease-free 17 months after RT without systemic chemotherapy. (A) Chest CT scan before thoracic RT. (B) Chest CT scan two months after thoracic RT. (C) Chest CT scan five months after thoracic RT.
