, we summarized the median survival period, 3-year survival rate, and 5-year survival rate of each study, and if there was no description about these values in their own references, an author (AH) calculated these values from the Kaplan-Meier curve of each study; , DFS data missing for five patients; seven patients who had explorative surgery were excluded. RFS, recurrence-free survival; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; EFS, event-free survival; DFS, disease-free survival; CRT, chemoradiotherapy; N/A, not available; L, locoregional recurrence; D, Distant recurrence; CR, complete response.
