    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of Severe Toxicities [1 month after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)]

      Toxicity was graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Toxicities Associated With Treatment (Grade 1-2) [30 days after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)]

      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.

    2. Toxicities Associated With Treatment (Grade 3-4) [30 days after completion of treatment (treatment lasts approximately 19 weeks)]

      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.

    3. Disease Free Survival (DFS) - Median [Median follow-up was 24 months (range 3.2-97 months)]

      DFS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to relapse or death, whichever occurred first.

    4. Overall Survival (OS) - Median [Median follow-up was 24 months (range 3.2-97 months)]

      OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up.

    5. Overall Survival (OS) [1 year]

      OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up

    6. Overall Survival (OS) [2 years]

      OS was defined as the time from the initiation of treatment to death from any cause or last follow-up
