Abstract
Long-term disease-specific survival can be expected not only after surgery for early stage thymoma but also after surgery for advanced disease, including patients with pleural metastases. However, patients who undergo surgery for stage IV-A disease have reduced disease-free survival. Late mortality due to secondary cancers and associated immunologic disorders was more frequent than mortality from thymoma in this series.
