Study Arms (2)

Surgery-radiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the surgery-radiotherapy group will receive Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) at a dose of 50Gy/25fraction after surgery. After radiotherapy, patients will be actively monitored.

Radiation: Surgery-radiotherapy

Surgery group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in the surgery group will be actively monitored after randomization.

Interventions

Patients in the surgery-radiotherapy group will receive Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) at a dose of 50Gy/25fraction after randomization.
