Thymoma is treated with about 20 radiation treatments after surgery.
Thymoma is sensitive to radiation therapy, which is usually required after surgery depending on the type of tumor. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as an adjuvant, remedial treatment after surgery. It usually takes about 20 sessions.
For unresectable lesions or incompletely resected invasive thymoma radiotherapy is more frequent, and the course of the disease is usually appropriately prolonged, at about 25 times.
In addition to radiotherapy, there are also chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and surgical treatment, which will be effective.
Therefore, thymoma needs to be looked at according to the patient’s specific situation, how many times of radiotherapy. It is also important to review the films regularly to see if the thymoma has recurred.
