NEOCRTEC5010: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

Updated 2026-09-25 · reconstructed by TrialCurve from a CC BY-licensed publication

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery Versus Surgery Alone for Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus (NEOCRTEC5010): A Phase III Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label Clinical Trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Overall survival — Intention-to-treat population

From figure panel A · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Group CRT 71.5 months; Group S 66.3 months. Survival at 18 months: Group CRT 82%; Group S 78%. Hazard ratio Group S vs Group CRT 1.34 (95% CI 1.00–1.79).
