ABSTRACT
Thoracic tumors include more than one hundred histopathological subtypes. Rare thoracic malignancies can be defined as representing less than 1% of all thoracic tumors. The European Rare Cancer Surveillance Project (RARECARE) identified rarity as an incidence less than 6 for 100,000 people, with significant difference of prevalence between them. Modalities of treatment for these pathologies include surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapies. In this article, we aim to discuss role and techniques of radiotherapy in management of rare solid thoracic tumors in adults, focusing on different anatomical locations such as lung parenchyma, mediastinum, vessels, chest wall and pleural cavity.
