Chemotherapy probably leads to lower overall survival compared with best supportive care (moderate certainty).
5‐FU/cisplatin/anthracycline combinations may leads to lower overall survival compared with 5‐FU/anthracycline combinations (without cisplatin) (low certainty).
Irinotecan probably leads to lower overall survival compared with non‐irinotecan‐containing regimens (moderate certainty).
Irinotecan showed no clear difference in overall survival ‐ Substitutive comparisons compared with non‐irinotecan‐containing regimens (moderate certainty).
