About this trial

To observe the efficacy and toxicities of post-operative (R0/R1) proton radiotherapy for locally advanced primary thymus epithelial malignancies. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival and toxicities, and the secondary endpoint was overall survival and cause-specific survival.
