    PFS is calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of treatment failure or death from any cause, whichever is first.

    3-year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Overall survival

    3-year

  • Locoregional failure-free survival

    3-year

  • Distant failure-free survival

    3-year

  • QoL(quality of life)

    3-year
