Surgery remains the cornerstone for the management of thymoma. Complete surgical resection is recognized as the constant and significant factor for prognosis. However, in locally advanced thymomas, achieving R0 resection remains challenging due to local-regional invasion of the disease. Induction treatment, with the aim of reducing bulky tumor mass, offers a new strategy to facilitate total surgical resection. During this webinar, Prof. Du will review recent progress and provide a comprehensive overview of the induction strategy in locally advance thymoma using the TomoTherapy^® System.
