P values were derived from log-rank tests assessing differences between survival curves by groups. Bold indicates statistically significant values. NA, not achieved; OS, overall survival; RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors; RFS, recurrence-free survival; ypTNM, pathologic tumor, node, metastasis after therapy.
