Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Incidence of Severe ToxicitiesToxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.01 month after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Toxicities Associated With Treatment (Grade 1-2)Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0. The most common grade 1-2 non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities were collected for this outcome.30 days after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)
Toxicities Associated With Treatment (Grade 3-4)Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0. The most common grade 3-4 non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities were collected for this outcome.30 days after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)
Disease Free Survival (DFS) - MedianDFS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to relapse or death, whichever occurred first.Median follow-up was 24 months (range 3.2-97 months)
Overall Survival (OS) - MedianOS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up.Median follow-up was 24 months (range 3.2-97 months)
Overall Survival (OS)OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up1 year
Overall Survival (OS)OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up2 years
