Added to caption: Minor response: any shrinkage of tumor which does not fulfill the criteria of partial response. If not indicated otherwise, reported minor/minimal response is included in “Stable disease.” The following footnotes were added:

1 Minor/minimal response included

2 Minor/minimal response excluded (2/12)

3 Overall response rate

4 According to RECIST plus PERCIST

5 Including all 12 patients of which only 11 were evaluable

6 This meta-analysis provides an overall response rate of 25% (n=179) and a disease control rate of 84% (n=151)

* prospective

**Overall PFS 30 months, parasympathetic PGL 91 months
