Overall survival
From figure panel A · curves cross-checked by two independent readings · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model
Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: CCRT 24.2 months; RT 14.6 months. Survival at 18 months: CCRT 59%; RT 42%. Hazard ratio CCRT vs RT 0.71 (95% CI 0.54–0.92).

| RT | 149 | 122 | 14.6 |
- CCRT vs RT: reconstructed HR 0.71 (95% CI 0.54–0.92)
