Clinical endpoints: survival, biochemical, and radiologic response. Survival analyses to compare whether survival advantage was associated with studied variables was performed using log-rank analysis.

1 95% Confidence interval.
2 CEA response defined as a reduction in CEA ≥50% of pretreatment value.
3 RECIST criteria used to compare baseline measurement just prior to 1st treatment with radiologic response during 1–6 months follow-up imaging.
