Fig. 2

ALC in NSCLC patients’ peripheral blood (n = 20) before (A.1), during (A.2, A.3, RTend), and up to 1 y (C.1-C.5) after treatment. Grey violin represents ALC of CRTL (n = 9). Each dot represents an individual, color codes the PFS group of the patients. Grey area represents the interval of radio- (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (cCRT), color-coded lines connect the median of ALC of each PFS group at the different timepoints. The bold dashed line in the violins indicate median, light dotted lines the lower and upper quartile. Student’s t test, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to A.1; ⊕ p < 0.05 compared to preceding timepoint
