Figure 1. CT scans of the first patient at baseline (A) and after (B) one cycle of sunitinib. A1 and B1: The primary tumour has decreased in size. A 2–3 and B 2–3: The caval vein thrombosis has increased in size (A2 and B2) and extends from infrahepatic (A2) towards the right atrium (B3). Note the absence of the thrombus in the right atrium before treatment (A3).
