摘要
A review of the evaluation, treatment, and end results for 52 patients with thymoma treated at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (1950‐1984) is presented. The objective of the study was to examine the influence of a number of clinical characteristics on survival, including histologic and staging classifications, associated diseases, symptom status, and treatment. Forty‐nine patients (94%) underwent surgical exploration; 13 were stage I, 12 were stage 11, and 24 were stage 111. Complete resection was accomplished in all of the stage I and I1 groups and in 6 of the stage I11 patients. An asymptomatic history, surgical stage I disease, lymphocytic thymoma cell type, and complete resection favorably influenced prognosis. The cumulative 5‐year survival rate for all patients was 40%. No patient with stage I thymoma had recurrent disease, however, there were 9 recurrences (50%) in the completely resected stage II/III patients, six of whom remained disease‐free following treatment with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combined approach.
