New radiation schedule aims to cut side effects for thymic cancer patients
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a shorter, more intense radiation schedule (hypofractionation) given after complete surgical removal of thymic tumors. The goal is to see if it can prevent the cancer from coming back while causing fewer side effects than standard radiation. About 50 adults with …
