Hypofractionated Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Thymic Epithelial Tumors
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective interventional study evaluating hypofractionated adjuvant radiotherapy (HART) after radical thymothymectomy in patients with thymic epithelial tumors. The study estimates 5-year local control and prospectively characterizes acute and late treatment-related adverse events, quality of life, cardiopulmonary function, and patterns of failure. Photon therapy and proton therapy are both protocol-acceptable modalities and are selected by shared decision-making rather than randomization.

Interventions
Hypofractionated Adjuvant Proton Therapy
Base regimen of 40 Gy (RBE) in 15 fractions or 42.5 Gy (RBE) in 16 fractions. Optional tumor-bed boost of 10 Gy (RBE) in 4 fractions or 16 Gy (RBE) in 6 fractions for R2 macroscopic residual disease may be delivered at investigator discretion if normal tissue constraints are met. Radiation is delivered using Proton pencil-beam scanning IMPT.
Hypofractionated Adjuvant Photon Radiation Therapy
Base regimen of 40 Gy in 15 fractions or 42.5 Gy in 16 fractions. Optional tumor-bed boost of 10 Gy in 4 fractions or 16 Gy in 6 fractions for R2 macroscopic residual disease may be delivered at investigator discretion if normal tissue constraints are met. Treatment is delivered by Photon IMRT/VMAT/RapidArc techniques.
