Hintergrund

Minimally invasive thymectomy has been implemented with uncertain oncological outcome.

Video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) recently became gold-standard treatment for early stage lung cancer. Complete resection is mandatory, with excellent survival in early stages (Masaoka-Koga I+IIA/B). We aimed to show whether to consider VATS thymectomy equal to open resection regarding oncological outcome and long-term survival.
