Interim Analysis

57.6Gy/ 6.5wks
CONCLUSIONS:
A minimum of 57.6 Gy with boost of 63 Gy to sites of high risk and ECS, is essential
Treatment should be started as soon as possible
Dose escalation above 63 Gy does not appear to improve therapeutic ratio
38. POST OP RT
39. Low risk / Intermediate risk had similar control & survival
They did better than high risk
High risk had a trend towards better control when RT was given over 5 weeks

Results
Better locoregional control with Hyperfractionation (p=0.045) & Accelerated fractionation with Concomitant boost (p=0.050)
All three Altered fractionation group had increased acute toxicity and comparable late toxic effects
