2 early deaths (less than 3 months) and 1 lost to follow-up before the first time evaluation by MDT.

CR, complete response; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease; ORR, objective response rate; LM, liver metastases; PFS, progression free survival; OS, overall survival; HR, hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval. MDT, multidisciplinary team; NE, not evaluable.
