      Comparison of the occurrence rates of DRIL at the first diagnosis and the last visit between the two groups of patients. (a) At the first diagnosis, the incidence rate of DRIL in the multimodal treatment group was 92.3%, and that in the standalone treatment group was 47.8%. The comparison between the two groups showed p = 0.0024; (b) After 24 months of treatment, the incidence rate of DRIL in the multimodal treatment group was 65.3%, and that in the standalone treatment group was 61.5%. The comparison between the two groups showed p = 0.455.
