Abstract:
Objective: To observe the clinical outcome of surgical treatment for malignant thymoma,and evaluate the prognostic factors thereof. Mothods:All patients (63 eases)were operated and followed by radiotherapy. The Logistie regression analysis was used for the relationship between the prognosis, Masaoka staging,L/B pathology ,and the differences of the operation given.Rosults:Patients with early Masaoka stage and who received radical resection of thymoma had higher 3 and 5 year survival rates (P＜0.05).The radiotherapy after surgery was related to 3 and 5 year survival rates. The differences of L/B pathology was not related to 3 and 5 year survival rates.Conclusion :The survival rate is enhanced for patients with malignant thymoma when both surgical and radiotherapy intervention axe given as early as possible.The Masaoka staging, not L/B pathology, is closely related to the prognosis.
