Experimental: Imaging
One visit to either the UMCG or Amsterdam UMC-location VUMC is required for the FES-PET scan, and possibly one additional visit for an FDG-PET. A FES- or FDG-PET scan plus low dose CT will each induce an extra radiation burden of about 6.1 mSv (210 MBq injected for an average patient of 70 kilogram body weight).

- Progression-free survival after first line treatment (PFS1) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Progression-free survival after first line treatment (PFS1) defined as time from randomization until objective disease progression, symptomatic deterioration, or initiation of a new therapeutic agent on first line treatment, death, or progression during a break in initial therapy and without further therapy within one month, whichever occurs first.
- Patient response [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Per patient response according to RECIST1.1
- Response measurement individual lesion [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Change in size (=response measurement) per individual lesion at the largest measurable response measured on CT compared to baseline CT
- Response measurement target lesions [ Time Frame: 5 years ]- Per patient trajectory of change in size of target lesions according to RECIST 1.1, from baseline CT until CT at progression of disease.
- Association baseline FES/FDG-PET heterogeneity score with primary endpoint. [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Cox-regression to estimate HRs for PFS and corresponding 95% CIs between FES/FDG heterogeneity groups, while adjusting for treatment allocation.
