After 10 years follow-up there is no<br />

statistically significant difference <strong>in</strong> diseasefree<br />

survival (DFS) (71% versus 71%) or<br />

overall survival (OS) (63% versus 70%) when<br />

compar<strong>in</strong>g adjuvant versus neoadjuvant<br />

treatment, respectively. Of 144 evaluable<br />

patients <strong>in</strong> the neoadjuvant arm, 74 achieved<br />

a good cl<strong>in</strong>ical response and 70 patients<br />

achieved a poor cl<strong>in</strong>ical response. Good<br />

responders had a superior DFS (80% versus<br />

64%, P=0.01) and OS (77% versus 63%,<br />

P=0.03) compared to poor responders.<br />
