Pathologically confirmed lymph node-positive (pN +) patients showed a trend toward lower OS ( P = 0.075) and had significantly worse DFS ( P < 0.05) compared to pN − patients (Fig. 5 C and D).
Pathologically confirmed lymph node-positive (pN +) patients showed a trend toward lower OS ( P = 0.075) and had significantly worse DFS ( P < 0.05) compared to pN − patients (Fig. 5 C and D).
(A, B) Responders with major pathological response (MPR) and pathological completer response (pCR) showed a trend toward improved OS compared to non-responders, though the difference did not reach statistical significance.
This comparable pCR rate is highly significant, as it was achieved in patients with a much higher tumor burden and more advanced disease at baseline, supporting the potency of the conversion regimen.
