Thoracoscopic thymectomy - The method of choise in surgical treatment of non-invasive thymomas.

Background: Thymomas are very rare malignances, with an estimated incidence of 0.15 cases per 100.000.

Thoracoscopic lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection as a standard surgery for T1-2N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (>300 surgeries experience).

Background: A lot of clinics worldwide in recent years recommend the use of minimally invasive surgical procedures in the early stages of lung cancer claiming that this technique helps reduce the number of postoperative complications, shortens the period of social rehabilitation of patients, without significantly affecting the long-term results of treatment. In this study we evaluate immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with early stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS) with mediastinal lymph node dissection.

Materials And Methods: Since 2008 317 patients with T1-2N0M0 NSCLC over 20 (median age was 65.
