Abstract
The median followup was 68 months Loco regional relapse occurred in 23 patients 23 and distant relapse occurred in 203 patients 201 Both loco regional and distant relapse were reported in 32 patients 32 The disease free survival DFS at 3 and 5 years were 87 and 78 respectively while OAS at 3 and 5 years were 964 and 914 respectively Multivariate analysis of different prognostic factors showed that the independent bad prognostic factors in the study for disease relapse were positive lymph nodes LNs more than 10 tumor size T3 T4 with significance of 00001 for each and pathologic grade with significance of 0003The most important independent bad prognostic factors for relapse are positive LNs more than 10 tumor size T3 T4 and pathologic grade The timing of radiotherapy affects the disease free survival significantly also it is recommended to analyze the group of patients with LNs negative using well designed randomized trials
