What factors other than resection status (R1,2) do you consider when offering adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with thymic carcinoma, and how do you coordinate with post-op radiation?

Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution

I do not routinely recommend adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resected thymic carcinoma as there is no data that this improves outcome. If not an R0 resection, then we recommend post-operative radiation therapy.
