Postoperative radiotherapy for thymic epithelial tumors: a narrative review.

This review consolidates the literature on PORT for TETs, factoring in the Masaoka-Koga staging, WHO histological subtypes, and resection status. Varying results regarding PORT efficacy have led to an undefined strategy for stage IIB-III TETs. Although advanced radiotherapy techniques promise to reduce radiation-induced toxicities, further research is needed to investigate the efficacy of PORT and combination therapy.
