Local/locoregional control (LRC), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the influence of clinical parameters on patient outcomes was assessed. A matched-pair analysis was performed after matching with patients < 65 years.Nine patients (31.0 %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:33000299 %R 10.1007/s00405-020-06393-x %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/163868
