Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary end point was to determine the effect on disease-free survival and overall survival by oral capecitabine.

    four years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The secondary end point was to analyze the relationship between preventive effectiveness of capecitabine with thymidine phosphorylase expression level of tumor tissue.

    four years
