Abstract
EDITORIAL Defining the Role of Hemithorax Irradiation for Thymomas Is Difficult Steven E. Schild, MD ugie et al. evaluated postoperative mediastinal radiotherapy(MRT) for invasive thy- Smoma with low-dose entire hemithorax radiotherapy (EHRT) for pleural dissemina- tion. This was done to clarify the role of EHRT. Following removal of disseminated lesions, EHRT was given to 12 patients with pleural dissemination using doses of 11.2 to 16 Gy in 7 to 10 fractions (mean dose: 14.1 Gy). This was given in addition to MRT which included 30 to 64 Gy (mean: 44 Gy) depending on the extent of the disease. They treated 52 patients with MRT alone and eight with EHRT MRT. Of these eight patients, seven had stage IVa disease and one had stage II disease with tumor spillage at the time of resection. They also gave EHRT to another four of these patients who later developed pleural dissemination. Twenty-four of the 60 (40%) patients also received chemotherapy. Survival was associated with the Masaoka stage (p 0.048) and extent of resection (p 0.0046), but not the extent of radiotherapy (RT). The pleural control rate for stage IVa patients was relatively high (71% at 3 years) in patients
