Significance of the Surgical Treatment with Lymph Node Dissection for Neuroendocrine Tumors of Thymus

Abstract: Background: Neuroendocrine tumors of a thymus (NETTs) are rare, accounting for approximately 2–5% of all thymic epithelial tumors, and have a poor prognosis due to frequent lymph nodes or distant metastasis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological background and outcomes of 40 patients who underwent resection or surgical biopsy with histologically diagnosed NETTs from 1986 to 2022. Results: The most common pathological type was atypical carcinoid. Surgical resection was performed in 35 pat… Show more
