Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Toxicity of chemotherapy

Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 5

3

disease-free survival

Disease-free survival (DFS) will be defined as the time from randomization to recurrence of tumor or death

Time frame

4

Overall survival

Overall survival will be defined as the time from randomisation to the time of occurrence of the first death regardless to its cause. Patients alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow up.
