case_images: After two cycles, an 18F-FDG-PET was performed, showing no significant decrease in standardized uptake value (SUV) in the hyper-metabolic regions of the tumor: maximal SUV was 9.5 versus 10.5 in the proximal and 4.4 versus 5.2 in the distal tumor (Figure 1).

case_images: When applying the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) and the Choi criteria (Figure 2) to the CT scan, the tumor was stable.
case_images: (a) Densely cellular neoplasm composed of round- and spindle-shaped cells.; (b) necrosis and hyalinization after neoadjuvant therapy, (H&E staining, 10x).
