Effects of adjuvant radiation therapy on survival for patients with resected primary tracheal carcinoma: an analysis of the National Cancer Database

ConclusionsAdjuvant RT was not significantly associated with OS for patients with resected PTC in this analysis. Surgical margin status and tumor histology were associated with receiving adjuvant RT. Further investigations including prospective registry studies capturing radiation technique and treatment volumes are needed to better define which patients with resected PTC may benefit from adjuvant RT.
