Trial Summary:

CATNON aims to identify the benefits of different treatments for patients towards improving patient care. The main objectives are:

1. To determine whether chemotherapy given in addition to radiotherapy or the addition of chemotherapy after the completion of radiotherapy will improve overall survival and the time until tumour progression;

2. To document the effects of chemotherapy when either given at the same time as radiotherapy or after finishing radiotherapy; and

3. To identify patients most likely to benefit from this specific treatment on the basis of analysis of molecular markers from previously resected tumour specimens, which will ultimately allow the development of new treatments more specific to each patient's tumour characteristics.
