Long-term survival and prognosis after surgical treatment of patients with thymic carcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thymic carcinoma is a type of rare and highly malignant tumor that originates from the thymic epithelium. Treatment and prognosis of thymic carcinoma remain controversial. We retrospectively analyzed survival data from a large sample database in a single center in China to summarize the clinicopathological features of patients with thymic carcinoma and explore the factors affecting prognosis.
