Multivariable analysis.

<p>Multivariable analysis.</p

Probability of incomplete response as function of the waiting time (WT).

<p>Probability of 0 is a complete response and 1.0 an incomplete response. The WT is shown as transformed back into a continuous scale. In the first 3 months, the increase of probability of incomplete response is steeper than when the length of WT is longer. The probability on incomplete response seems to reach a plateau level.</p

Survival plots.

<p>(a) local regional control, (b) disease free survival and (c) overall survival. Above the x-axis is the number of patients at risk.</p

Survival plots, stratified for waiting time.

<p>(a) local-regional control and (b) disease free survival stratified for a waiting time longer or shorter than 130 days (log rank for both plots <0.001). Above the x-axis is the number of patients at risk.</p
