2012, Reports of Practical Oncology and RadiotherapyCitation Excerpt :In this context, radiotherapy doses more often reported have been between 11.2 Gy and 16 Gy in 7–10 fractions. Uematsu et al.27 used total hemithoracic irradiation prophylactically in stages II and III, using doses between 10–16 Gy in 10–16 fractions. Recurrence-free survival of 100% at 5 years was achieved in the entire hemithorax irradiation group (with good clinical tolerance) versus 66% in the group that only received radiotherapy to the thymic bed.
