Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease-free survival time

    including survival time from randomization to locoregional recurrence and to distal metastasis

    up to 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • overall survival time

    up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

surgery alone

NO INTERVENTION

No prophylactic postoperative radiation therapy,that is surgery alone is developed in this arm

surgery plus radiation

EXPERIMENTAL

Prophylactic postoperative radiation therapy is developed in this arm

Radiation: Prophylactic postoperative radiation therapy

Interventions

Prescription dose of 95%planning target volume(PTV) 50.4Gy/1.8Gy/28fractions for supraclavicular region and 95%PTV 56Gy/2Gy/28fractions for mediastinum which is delivered in 2 months after surgery.

Also known as: Preventive postoperative radiotherapy
