2 FIGURE 1 A, Pretreatment axial positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) image showing the hypermetabolic left upper lung tumor (arrow) and subcarinal lymph node (arrowhead). B, Axial CT image with dose distribution (at or above the prescription dose) superimposed. The maximum point dose is 84.5 Gy and is located in the subcarinal lymph node target. A small area of cavitation is already present before starting radiation. C, Axial CT image after nine fractions (18 Gy) of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), demonstrating decrease in tumor size, and enlargement of an area of central cavitation tracking into the left main bronchus (arrow).

3 FIGURE 2 A, Endobronchial biopsy showing invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Scale bar 50 μm. B, Postmortem histology. Microscopic section of lung tumor from the necrotic cavity. Extensive tumor necrosis and microscopic residual squamous cell carcinoma (arrow) with radiation-induced changes (arrowhead) are seen. Scale bar 50 μm. C, Left lung at autopsy. A 7 × 4 × 4 cm necrotic cavity is present at the hilum. A probe is passed from the main bronchus into the cavity through a 1.5 × 1.5 cm erosion.
