PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End-of-study visit 1 month after radiation therapy completed, and follow-up visits every 3 months, assessed up to 2 years.

Population: Twenty patients from University of Arizona and 20 patients at MDACC for a total of 40 patients were combined for statistical analysis for Median Survival. We excluded 4 MDACC patients because: 1 patients withdrew consent prior to protocol treatment, I patient death during radiotherapy, 2 patients early death without follow-up data.

Median Survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier (1958) using the intent-to-treat principle.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of registration until the date of first documented death or lost to follow up, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years.

Population: Twenty patients from University of Arizona and 20 patients at MDACC for a total of 40 patients were combined for statistical analysis for Median Survival. We excluded 4 MDACC patients because: 1 patients withdrew consent prior to protocol treatment, I patient death during radiotherapy, 2 patients early death without follow-up data.

Overall Survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier (1958) using the intent-to-treat principle. The participants overall survival measured at 6 month, 1-year and 2 years.
