Adjuvant radiotherapy is considered to be highly effective in maintaining local control but is widely perceived to confer no survival advantage in the management of solid tumours. However, recent adjuvant radiotherapy studies are beginning to show survival improvements in parallel with improvements in loco-regional disease control.
辅助放疗被认为在维持局部控制方面非常有效，但人们普遍认为它在实体瘤的治疗中不会带来生存优势。然而，最近的辅助放疗研究开始显示，随着局部区域疾病控制的改善，生存率也有所提高。
