Secondary	Progression-free survival (PFS).	Recist 1.1 criteria	40 months
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS).	time will be calculated as the interval from treatment start date to the date of death for any cause, with censoring at the date of last contact for patients alive.	40 months
Secondary	Variations of the Quality of Life	Variations of the Quality of Life score as assessed with the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), validated in Italian language. In this quality of life there are specify 9 main symptons: the score range is from 0 to 10 for each one.; For each symptom the "0 score" corrisponds to "no symptom present" (better outcome) and the "10 score" corrisponds to "maximum symptom assessable" (worse outcome). The listed symptoms are: 1) Pain 2) Fatigue 3) Nausea 4) Depression 5) Anxiety 6) Somnolence 7) Loss of appetite 8) General Malaise 9) Dispnea. The total score is ranging from 0 to 90	40 months
Secondary	FDG-PET/CT response rate according to EORTC criteria	to determine the rate of concordance with CT scan RECIST 1.1 response criteria and PET/CT EORTC Criteria; Complete response: complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease (RECIST 1.1) and Complete resolution of FDG uptake in all lesions (EORTC); Partial response (PR): greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of target lesions (RECIST 1.1) and = 25% reduction in the sum of SUVmax; Stable disease (SD): Not qualify for CR, PR or PD; Objective Progression (PD): 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions or appearance of new unequivocal malignant lesions (RECIST 1.1) and = 25% Increase in the sum of SUVmax or appearance of new lesions.; To evaluate the relationship existing between tumor response measured by FDG-PET/CT EORTC Criteria (mainly early PET response as evaluated at first restaging) and pCR-rate (pT0 after surgery) and progression-free survival (months).	40 months
