Disease-free survival — Modified intention-to-treat cohort
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: Pre-CT 49.0 months; Pre-CRT 38.0 months. Survival at 18 months: Pre-CT 72%; Pre-CRT 66%. Hazard ratio Pre-CRT vs Pre-CT 1.03 (95% CI 0.70–1.52).
| Arm | N | Events | Median (Months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-CT | 94 | 49 | 49.0 |
