Thymectomy

11/01/2002 - "Thymectomy is considered the most effective treatment for achieving sustained improvement as well as remission in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), and most neurologists favor the use of this procedure. "
01/01/2002 - "Early thymectomy carries the best results in Myasthenia Gravis and every effort should be made to shorten the preoperative duration for both thymomatous and nonthymomatous patients. "
01/01/2002 - "Early thymectomy carries the best results in Myasthenia Gravis and every effort should be made to shorten the preoperative duration for both thymomatous and nonthymomatous patients. "
05/01/1998 - "Most patient's symptoms after thymectomy were progressively improved with time, which is probably attributable to thymectomy, and the natural history of myasthenia gravis. "
01/01/1991 - "In recent years, thymectomy has gained increasing acceptance as the most effective treatment for acheiving sustained improvement in patients affected of myasthenia gravis. "

01/01/2022 - "Minimally invasive thymectomy: the best option for early and locally advanced epithelial thymomas."
12/15/2017 - "Cox multivariate analysis indicated that pre-operative MGFA class I (HR: 3.019, 95% CI: 1.084-8.410) and MGFA II (2.665, 95% CI: 1.033-6.873) compared to MGFA III and presence of thymoma (HR: 2.229, 95% CI: 1.079-4.606), showed the most consistent association with remission of MG after thymectomy. "
05/01/2018 - "Our study suggests that WHO histology, MG, and Masaoka stage interrelate with one another, and Masaoka stage is an important prognostic factor in remission of MG after thymectomy in thymoma patients. "
01/01/2022 - "Thymomectomy is an adequate surgical resection for non-myasthenic thymoma, achieving disease-free and thymoma-related survivals comparable to those after complete thymectomy."
04/01/2017 - "We report the case of a 50-year-old man with thymoma and PRCA associated with Good syndrome who achieved complete PRCA remission after thymectomy and postoperative immunosuppressive therapy, and provide a review of the pertinent literature."

01/01/2021 - "Thymectomy alone or in combination with other therapies showed a 31 % complete remission (CR) rate for PRCA of, whereas none was reported with anti-tumor treatments without thymectomy. "
12/01/2020 - "Conventionally and even in the current era of significant advances in the minimally invasive surgery, open transsternal extended thymectomy is considered the gold standard, particularly for advanced-stage tumors. "
01/01/2023 - "In cases of partial thymectomy, the prognosis is greatly improved by ensuring a sufficient margin from the tumor, and therefore intraoperative fluorescent imaging of the tumor is especially valuable in thoracoscopic and robotic surgery, where tactile information is not available. "
08/01/2020 - "However, whether robot-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (RATT) could replace video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy (VATT) and be considered as a superior treatment for thymic epithelial tumors is still controversial. "
01/01/2022 - "This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of thymectomy through a subxiphoid video-thoracoscopic approach with double elevation of the sternum compared with traditional intercostal uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery for stage I-II thymic epithelial tumors (using the Masaoka-Koga staging system). "

01/01/2020 - "The best results had been obtained with early thymectomy with short disease duration, younger age and patients with thymic hyperplasia. "
01/01/2001 - "The beneficial effects of thymectomy are characterized by postoperative clinical improvement in most patients with moderate to severe preoperative myasthenic involvement and by a higher remission rate in patients with thymic hyperplasia and/or mild myasthenic symptoms."
09/01/2003 - "Univariate analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that variables such as sex (female), age at onset (below 40 years), thymectomy, and histological diagnosis of thymic hyperplasia were significantly associated with complete stable remission, whereas on multivariate analysis only age at onset below 40 years and thymectomy were confirmed."
03/01/2007 - "Thymic hyperplasia is prevalent in our SNMG patients and thymectomy may also be a therapeutic option to increase the probability of remission or improvement in SNMG. "
10/01/2005 - "The majority of cases who improved post-thymectomy had thymic hyperplasia on histology in both Nottingham (46%) and Cuban (61%) patients. "

01/01/1990 - "A direct relationship was discovered between the efficacy of thymectomy and intensity of hyperplasia of the glandular lobules of the thymus. "
03/01/1999 - "Hyperplasia, requiring subtotal parathyroidectomy and transcervical thymectomy, was found in five cases (16.1%), all of which had gone undetected by localization studies when requested by the referring physicians. "
12/15/2017 - "Finally, thymic lymphoid hyperplasia and severe symptoms may negatively affect prognosis of MG following thymectomy."
12/01/2015 - "Value of Prophylactic Cervical Thymectomy in Parathyroid Hyperplasia."
09/15/2015 - "Thymectomy revealed mild thymic nodular hyperplasia. "
