P
The patients in the aloe arm had a lower percentage of radiation breaks due to mucositis than patients in the placebo arm but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.35).  +
The median onset of severe mucositis was 32 and 33 days for patients taking Aloe vera and patients assigned to take placebo, respectively (p= 0.609).  +
Apparently, patients in the aloe arm had a lower incidence of severe mucositis than patients in the placebo arm. This was statistically significant (53% vs. 87%, p=0.004).  +
Mean value of weeks: no significant differences between arms (lycopene: 40.83, placebo: 26.74; p = 0.089, not significant)  +
Number of CR/PR/PD/SD/NA: no significant difference between arms (lycopene: 10/10/3/1/1, placebo: 5/6/8/1/5; p = 0.100, not significant)  +
R
Over both cycles: 1. nausea score after 24 hours 2. nausea score 3 hours after first dose Sign. Treatment effect in favor of ginger after 3 or 24 hours: Within-group comparison between cycles 1-2: Arm 1 Verum-placebo MD - 0.93±3.39 Arm 2 Placebo - verum MD 1.80±2.33 Then t-test inter-group comparison with above values: Ta = -2.571, df = 28, p = 0.01 Comparison of the cross-over regimes and the comparison between the two cycles showed no differences, i.e. ginger was superior to placebo in both cycles, irrespective of cycle and arm  +
Two-year recurrence-free survival was significantly higher in the intervention than the placebo arm (77.0%, SE=7.0% vs. 59.0%, SE=8.0%; p=0.03)  +
