Secondary outcome [1] 18 0
Overall survival
Timepoint [1] 18 0
Patients are followed up and assessed in clinic after every CMF and LH-RH (lutenising hormone-releasing hormone) analogue administration. Follow-up is required ever third month during the first two years, every six months for the next three years and yearly thereafter for life.
Secondary outcome [2] 19 0
Patterns of relapse
Timepoint [2] 19 0
