Combination of radiotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin C (FM) in the upper panel versus gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) in the lower panel. Each arrow in the top panel corresponds to one daily fraction of radiotherapy. The last three arrows represent a boost restricted to the tumour (= Planning target volume, PTV5580) whereas the rest of the fractions included additionally the regional lymphatics (PTV5040) and this is illustrated in the right hand Euler diagram.
