DFS after CRT
DFS often counts the following as an event:
•
non-complete response (nCR) (timed 4-18 weeks
following CRT)
•
New radiological local, nodal, pelvic or distant
disease following a post CRT CR
•
or death from any cause.
•
Is this a meaningful endpoint for patients who
have slow or no response, but are salvaged by
surgery and thereafter have no clinical disease?
