Although the complete response rates were similar, the patients receiving combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy had significantly fewer relapses and a better disease-free survival. However, their survivals were similar. The lack of improvement in the overall survival might be due to the effectiveness of salvage chemotherapy in treating some of the radiotherapy failures and the occasional chemotherapy-related mortalit
