About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hypofractionated radiotherapy works to shorten the treatment time without increasing the side effects in patients of thymic epithelial tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does Hypofractionated radiotherapy provide better results? * Can hypofractionated radiotherapy reduce toxic and side effects compared with conventional radiotherapy? Researchers will compare the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated radiotherapy after thymic tumor surgery.

Participants will:

* Receive hypofractionated radiotherapy or conventional radiotherapy * Visit the hospital regularly once every 12 weeks for checkups and tests
