  1. afive-year disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS) based on Kaplan-Meier method, bhazard-ratio (HR) computed using the Cox proportional hazard regression model for the DFS (for OS cannot be computed due to the low number of events), cp-value of the log-rank test for the equality of probability of an event (relapse for DFS or death for OS)
