“…Likewise, delays/reductions and omissions of the second cycle of chemotherapy led to poorer PFS (hazard ratio 1.56 and 2.39, respectively) and OS (hazard ratio 1.92 and 2.88, respectively). These data were confirmed by a pooled analysis of individual patient data from seven phase II/III trials, in which longer overall treatment time led to higher rates of loco-regional failure, recurrence and death [27]. The prognostic importance of treatment compliance has also been reported in real-world populations.…”

“…However, it highlights an important message that avoiding as much treatment interruptions as possible and reducing their duration seem to improve the patients’ outcome, pauses being increasingly questioned [ 29 ]. As a matter of fact, in a recent pooled analysis, shorter overall treatment time was associated with longer PFS [ 30 ]. Finally, a significant proportion of patients who entered in this model received an experimental drug (panitumumab) not standardly used, but this was taken into account in the model and did not seem to interfere with the outcome.…”

“…This allows for the reduction of acute toxicity, mainly in the perineal skin area, therefore a break in irradiation caused by skin radiation reaction is currently very rare. Studies have shown that interruptions in treatment reduce the effectiveness of local radiotherapy, so they should be avoided or shortened whenever possible [8]. Depending on the stage the most frequently used doses are 50-60…”
