Name Time Method Progression free survival, calculated from date of randomisation to the first evidence of progression or recurrence or death, whichever occurs first
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Distant metastasis free survival, calculated from the date of randomisation to the first evidence of recurrent disease outside radiation field or death, whichever occurs first<br>2. Survival, calculated from date of randomisation to date of death<br>3.
