	n	Age at diagnosis, years		p value
		mean ± SEM	median (range)
Initial response
Excellent	100	47.2 ± 1.5	48.5 (19.6–82.3)	0.14
Indeterminate	61	47.5 ± 1.9	47.3 (18.5–80.6)
BIR	35	42.2 ± 2.9	38.5 (19.0–78.4)
SIR	72	43.0 ± 1.9	44.1 (18.0–87.0)
Final response
NED	144	45.2 ± 1.3	47.5 (18.5–82.3)	0.58
Indeterminate	54	42.5 ± 1.8	42.4 (18.0–68.5)
BIR	24	45.7 ± 3.8	43.9 (21.3–78.4)
SIR	46	46.7 ± 2.5	45.8 (18.0–87.0)

NED, no evidence of disease; BIR, biochemical incomplete response; SIR, structural incomplete response; SEM, standard error mean.
