Health		In the first GITSG trial (7175), the combination of 5-FU and methyl-CCNU with radiotherapy continues to show significant improvement in local control and survival with 10-year followup compared with surgery alone and somewhat better than either modality on its own. In the NCCTG study with a median followup of 6 years, the same combination is shown to be superior to radiotherapy alone (using DFS as the end point, overall survival is only marginally significant).
