Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survival (PFS)2 years

PFS will be calculated as the time from surgery to the date of progression-free.

Overall survival (OS)2 years

OS will be calculated as the time from surgery to the date of death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of adverse events6 months

Incidence of adverse events.Toxicities will be tabulated and graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 3.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)6 months

ORR: overall response rate (ORR), subjects will be classified according to the RANO criteria, which is a composite of MRI changes, clinical response and changes in steroid use.
