Due to geography and because patients frequently switch hospitals, this follow up data was based on telephone interviews with the patient and/or the patient’s family; independent medical documentation for confirmation was not available
DOD dead of disease after initial diagnosis, Chemo chemotherapy, Rt radiation, NOD negative of disease, LOF loss of follow up
