Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
2-year disease-free survival in non-pCR patients
The time from the first day of surgery to the first occurrence of local or distant recurrence and metastasis or death from any cause in non-pCR patients
Secondary outcomes
pCR rate
Pathological complete response (pCR) rate of all patients
major pathological response
MPR was defined as the presence of viable tumor cells≤10% in the resected tumor specimen
2-year DFS in pCR patients
The time from the first day of surgery to the first occurrence of local or distant recurrence and metastasis or death from any cause in pCR patients
R0 resection rate
No vital tumor is presented at the proximal, distal, or circumferential resection margin, then it is considered R0 resection
