Abstract
A positive result for serum AchR-Ab, type B1/B2/B3 thymoma histology, and incomplete resection were considered risk factors for the development of postthymectomy MG. Preoperative levels of serum AchR-Ab should be examined in all thymoma patients. Perioperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the patients with incomplete resection might reduce the risk of MG development.
