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 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:33000299 DO - DOI:10.1007/s00405-020-06393-x UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/163868 ER -
