Official title Clinical Study of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy for Thymic Epithelial Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06186726

What this study is testing

What it's testing
To observe the efficacy of carbon ion radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of inoperable locally advanced or advanced (all visible lesions can be included in the radiation target area in this treatment) primary thymic epithelial tumor who have no thorax radiotherapy histroy. The patients will receive 72GyE/18fractions of carbon ion radiotherapy.
