RECRUITINGFFS (Failure-free Survival)
Defined as the time from randomization to tumor recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any reason, whichever occurs first. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive and progression free. Patients not having an event will be censored at the date last seen alive.
Time frame: 3 year
OS (Overall Survival)
Defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive. Patients remaining alive throughout the duration of the study will have their survival time censored on the date last seen alive.
Time frame: 3 year
LRFS (Locoregional Recurrence-free Survival)
Defined as the time from randomization to local or regional recurrence. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive and recurrence free. Patients not having an event will be censored at the date last seen alive.
Time frame: 3 year
DMFS (Distant Metastasis-free Survival)
Defined as the time of randomization to the appearance of distant metastasis. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive and metastasis free. Patients not having an event will be censored at the date last seen alive.
Time frame: 3 year
AE (Adverse events)
Adverse events during the treatment period will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0). Late AE of radiotherapy will be assessed according to RTOG criteria.
Time frame: 3 year
