Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progress-free survival(PFS)3 years

Progress-free survival(year) is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first progress at any site or death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of acute and late toxicity3 years

Incidence of acute toxicity(Grade1/2/3/4) is calculated for each adverse event respectively and severity is evaluated on basis of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0 criteria. Late radiation toxicities were assessed using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer late radiation morbidity scoring scheme

Overall survival(OS)3 years

The OS(year) was defined as the duration from the date of random assignment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS)3 years

The DMFS(year) is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first distant metastases or until the date of the last follow-up visit.

Overall response rate12 weeks after completion of concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Tumour response(CR/PR/SD/PD) was classified according to RECIST v1.1

Locoregional failure-free survival(LRFS)3 years

The LRFS(year) is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first locoregional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit.
