Declarations
:
: A potential conflict of interest exists because DENKA Corporation performed the cancer panel analysis (CANCERPLEX-JP) free of charge. However, only anonymized identification numbers for all samples were disclosed, and all medical information including age and gender were masked. This prevented the results of the cancer panel analysis from being represented as favorable to DENKA Corporation, which had no influence on the planning, implementation, and results of the study.
: All procedures were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committees on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1964 and later versions.
: Written informed consent for the JCOG1509 trial and the present study was obtained from all patients as required by the Institutional Review Board of each participating institution.
