The only grade 2 reported at 30 months is a cosmetic one. Note that the number of grade 1 toxicity is low at 30 months, with significant decreased number over time for pain and skin erythema/pigmentation.

We can note that the number of grade 1 or 2 side effects for cough/dyspnea and neuro-muscular symptoms are not very significantly different between baseline and early follow-up assessments.

MSK: musculoskeletal.
