OS for resected patients was cals the time interval between the date of resection currence and the date of last follow-up or death. as calculated as the time interval between the date ence resection and the date of histological or eviological presence of a local rerecurrence. MFS was d as the time interval between the date of recurection and the date of histological or evident radipresence of distant metastasis. OS, LRFS andMFS mated using the Kaplan–Meier method, with difassessed with the log rank test. cal analysis was performed using SPSS ® version indows ® (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA). Samalculations were done with Power and Precision™ 1 2012 (Biostat, Englewood, New Jersey, USA). he selected time frame, ICT was incorporated multimodality management of 58 patients, and nts received concurrent CRRT alone. Patient and ant treatment characteristics are shown inTable 1. om sex differences, there were no significantly characteristics between the two groups. eral, local recurrences occurred within the first fter resection of the primary tumour, with a interval of 32 (range 5–201) months for first ces and of 17 (range 8–52) months between preurrence surgery and index surgery for second and urrences. Of the 58 patients in the ICT group, red a dose reduction during ICT and six during RRT. Four patients in this group were hospitalng ICT, and one patient during CRRT. In the nly group, one patient required dose reduction, had to be hospitalized.

P=0⋅012 (log rank test) remaining 26 patients in the ICT arm had 23 R1 and three R2 resections, and the 36 remaining in the CRRT-alone arm all had an R1 resection. Overall survival The 3-year OS rate for the 129 patients was 44 per cent (median survival 27months), 92 per cent in patients who had a pCR, 54 per cent in those with an R0 resection but no pCR, and 32 per cent in patients who had an R1/R2 resection (P=0⋅012) (Fig. 2). In the ICT group, patients who had a pCR were all alive at the end of follow-up, whereas those with R0 but no pCR or margin-positive patients had a median survival of 23months (P=0⋅039). There were only three R2 resections in the ICT group, and none in the CRRT group; therefore, no separate analyses for resection state were performed. In the CRRT group, only three patients achieved a pCR, so the numbers were too small to perform statistical comparisons; however, one patient with a pCR died from another cause at 10months. Local and distant recurrence The 3-year LRFS rate was 41 per cent (median survival 20months), 89 per cent at 24months in patients who had a pCR, 65 per cent in those with R0 but no pCR, and 25 per cent for patients with an R1/R2 resection (P<0⋅001).
