Is thymomectomy equivalent to complete thymectomy in non-myasthenic patients with early-stage thymoma? [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2018 A best evidence topic in thoracic surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed is whether thymomectomy can be equivalent to thymectomy for non-myasthenic early-stage thymoma in terms of recurrence and survival. Ten papers were chosen to answer the question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient
