Fig. 2From: Impact of diffusing lung capacity before and after neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation on postoperative pulmonary complications among patients with stage IIIA/N2 non-small-cell lung cancerChange of pulmonary function after neoadjuvant CCRT. Neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) was associated with a significant worsening of the FVC (% pred) and DLco (% pred), while the FEV1 (% pred) was significantly increased. CCRT, concurrent chemoradiotherapy; FVC, functional volume capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; DLco, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxideBack to article page
