case_images: The dimensions of the tumor were 150x120x100 mm ( Figures 1A, B ). Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 was achieved ( Figures 1C, D ). Since the surgical intervention was not feasible yet, it was decided to continue with systemic treatment for additional 3 months. The most marked effect of the therapy was noticed at the start of the treatment, with only mild reduction of the tumor in the last 3 months ( Figures 1E, F ). In September 2022, a follow up CT scan confirmed complete radiographic remission, and no further systemic therapy was offered after the operation ( Figures 1G, H ).
