      Background

      Thymic carcinoma is a rare and invasive mediastinal tumor and the optimal treatment is not well defined currently. According to the Clinical report from Japanese Association for Research on the Thymus in 2015, surgical resection is the mainstream of treatment, and the 5-year overall survival was 61%. The patient with complete resection with a 5-year survival of 89%, 68%, 60% for stages I, II & III and IV, respectively. In order to clarify the long-term outcome and prognostic indicators in our facilities, we reviewed our institutional experience with cases of surgical resection for thymic carcinoma.

      A single-institution retrospective study of patients operated for thymic carcinoma. Between 1998 and 2017, 25 patients with thymic carcinoma underwent surgical resection, and their clinical and pathological data were retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival (OS) rates were compared using a log- rank test and Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan–Meier method.

      Twenty-five patients underwent surgery for thymic carcinoma. The IASLC/ITMIG thymic epithelial tumors Stage according to the 8thedition of the TNM classification was I in 9 patients, II in 6, III in 5, IV in 5. A complete resection was achieved in ten patients (40%) that were no recurrence and death in the follow-up period. There was no fetal complication and no postoperative mortality. Adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy was offered to 22 patients. The median follow-up period was 37 months. The 5-year overall survival rate for all the patients were 78.2%. Patients who underwent an incomplete resection had a significantly worse survival as compared to those with complete resection in univariate analyses (p < 0.01).

      Our result indicated that complete resection could impact the overall survival of patients with thymic carcinoma after surgical resection.
