What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to progression or death from any causes. Progression is defined as the RANO Criteria indicated.

    Time frame: 2.5 years after randomization

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any causes.

    Time frame: 2.5 years after randomization

  2. Survival rates at 6 months and 1 year

    The survival rates were measured at 6 months and 1 year

    Time frame: at 6 months and 1 year after operation respectively

  3. EORTC QLQ-C30

    The Quality of life is measured with EORTC QLQ-C30 (The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life questionnaire). The EORTC QLQ-C30 is designed to measure cancer patients' physical, psychological and social functions. The questionnaire is composed of multi-item scales and single items.

    Time frame: 2.5 year after randomization

  4. ECOG Performance Status

    ECOG PS (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, performance status) is to assess how a patient's disease is progressing, and how the disease affects the daily living abilities of the patient, and determine appropriate treatment and prognosis. The scale is from 0 to 5. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 2.5 year after randomization

  5. Complications

    Complications 1 week after operation were assessed. The complications after operation include headache, nausea, vomit, myodynamia, seizer, and so on.

    Time frame: within 1 week after operation
