Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Overall and cancer-specific 5-year survival rate is measured using the CRF data at 5-year survival is by definition measured 5 years after initiation of the treatment<br>2. DFS is measured using the CRF data at the time of closing the study 5 year after treatment of the last patient included

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Operative time is measured using case report forms at the end of the procedure<br>2. Blood loss is measured using the scale of the suction device container at the end of the procedure<br>3. Pain intensity measured using VAS every 4 hours at the days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5<br>4. Complications is measured using the CRF data that include records of 45 categories of adverse effects at day of discharge<br>5. Length of hospital stay is measured using hospital records at the day of discharge <br>6. Number of removed lymph nodes in each station is counted by the pathologist during the final pathological examination of the surgical specimen
