3 FIGURE 2 Breadth of pleural effusion in subgroup A + B, and C. Group A included patients who underwent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) (n = 26), group B included patients who did not undergo TRT in spite of the disappearance of pleural effusion after first-line chemotherapy (n = 8), and group C included patients who did not undergo TRT and whose pleural effusion persisted after first-line chemotherapy (n = 28). The line represents the median with the interquartile range.
