Thymomectomy Plus Total Thymectomy Versus Simple Thymomectomy for Early-Stage Thymoma Without Myasthenia Gravis: A European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Thymic Working Group Study. [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2021
Abstract OBJECTIVESResection of thymic tumours including the removal of both the tumour and the thymus gland (thymothymectomy; TT) is the procedure of choice and is recommended in most relevant articles in the literature.

Radical Thymectomy Versus Conservative Thymomectomy in the Surgical Treatment of Thymic Malignancies [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
Complete thymectomy is recommended for thymic malignancies to reduce local recurrence and the likelihood of the long-term development of myasthenia gravis (MG). Thymus-conserving surgery (thymomectomy) seems to yield similar results, but evidence is still limited. The objective of this study was to assess if the oncological outcome, in terms of overall
