Biological responses provide additional prognostic information to RECIST. A Top panel: Kaplan-Meier survival plot of DFS in patients achieving RECIST PR stratified by biological responses to NAC. Bottom panel: Kaplan-Meier survival plot of DFS in patients with RECIST PD/SD stratified by biological responses to NAC. B Top panel: Kaplan-Meier survival plot of DFS in patients achieving cBR stratified by RECIST (CR vs. PR vs. SD/PD). Bottom panel: Kaplan-Meier survival plot of DFS in patients who did not achieve cBR stratified by RECIST (PR vs. SD/PD). C Kaplan-Meier survival plot of DFS, OS, DMFS, and LRFS across response phenotypes based on biological plus radiological responses to NAC. G1: cBR+CR, G2: non-cBR+CR, G3: cBR+PR, G4: non-cBR+PR; G5: cBR+SD/PD, and G6: non-cBR+SD/PD. Abbreviations: cBR, complete biological response; cfEBV DNA, cell-free Epstein-Barr virus DNA; CR, complete response; DFS, disease-free survival; DMFS, distant metastasis-free survival; HR, hazard ratio; LRFS, locoregional relapse-free survival; non-cBR, non-complete biological response; OS, overall survival; PD, progression disease; PR, partial responses; SD, stable disease
