Abstract
The role of peri‐operative radiation therapy in thymic epithelial tumors remains controversial, and randomized data are lacking. The authors evaluated recurrence patterns, pathologic predictors of recurrence, and long‐term survival among patients who underwent surgery and received peri‐operative radiation at a high‐volume tertiary center.
