The Effect of Thymectomy on the Incidence of Extrathymic Cancers and Autoimmune Diseases in Patients With Non-Thymomatous Myasthenia Gravis. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Thymectomy is associated with positive effects on myasthenia gravis (MG), but there is conflicting evidence regarding potential deleterious long‐term outcomes, such as increased cancer and autoimmune disease risk. We aimed to assess these outcomes in thymectomized versus non‐thymectomized MG patients.

Thymectomy in Myasthenia Gravis

The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Abstract In recent years, thymectomy has become a widespread procedure in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG). Likelihood of remission was highest in preoperative mild disease classification (Osserman classification 1, 2A). In absence of thymoma or hyperplasia, there was no relationship between age and gender in remission with thymectomy.
