This is possible since the randomization will be done in two steps: the first for the Timing Study for all the participating centres (peri-operative CHT vs. post-operative CHT) and the second one for the RTX Study, only for those centres with the radiotherapist willing and able to participate (post- surgical CHT-RTX vs. no other treatment). Thus the following four arms will be generated:\n\n* peri-operative CHT (Arm A)\n* post-operative CHT (Arm B)\n* peri-operative CHT + post-operative CHT-RTX (Arm C)\n* post-operative CHT + post-operative CHT-RTX (Arm D) The study will be conducted in more than one hundred experimental centres.
