Résumé
Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TET) are rare intrathoracic malignancies for which surgery represents the mainstay of the treatment. Current practice for postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) is highly variable and there is a lack of prospective, high level evidence. RYTHMIC is the nationwide network for TET in France established in 2012, which prospectively collects data for all TET patients, for whom management is discussed at a national multidisciplinary tumor board (MTB). We assessed whether postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) decisions at the MTB were in accordance with RYTHMIC guidelines, and ultimately implemented in patients.
