Key Highlights

  • No significant differences in recurrence-free survival or overall survival between completed and non-completed groups.
  • Positive pathological nodal status was an independent predictor of recurrence.
  • Higher incidence of any-grade adverse events in the completed group, but no significant increase in Grade 3/4 AEs.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management
