Thymic tumors and outcomes after radiotherapy

Abstract: OBJECTIVESWe evaluated the results of treatment in patients with thymic tumors treated with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODSEighteen patients were treated median 5400 cGy radiotherapy between 1995-2010. Diagnosis of patients were thymoma (n=10), thymic carcinoma (n=7), thymic neuroendocrin carcinoma (n=1). R0 resection was made on 12 of them. According to prognostic stratification with Masaoka stage and WHO classification, there were 5 good, 7 moderate, and 6 poor risk patients. Survival was calcul… Show more

“…There is currently no standardized system for staging of thymoma in the literature. Though type of resection, presence of MG, and advanced age have been reported as prognostic factors, prognosis of thymoma has primarily been based on Masaoka stage and WHO histological classification [ 16 ]. Masaoka staging system is anatomical classification first described in 1981 and subsequently revised in 1994.…”
