Fig 3 The overall survival curves of patients stratified by their response to the induction chemoradiotherapy. No significant difference was seen between the two groups (p = 0.263), although patients with downstaged disease (solid line) seemed to have better survival than those who did not have downstaged disease (dashed line).
