, values are given as the number of patients with the response/number of patients alive at the follow-up period (%), except for NA (denominator = total number of patients); , OS: overall success = sum of CR (complete response) and PR (partial response); §, unsuccessful outcome (PD—progressive disease, LTF—lost to follow-up, NA—dead).
