Article Synopsis
- * Thymomas grow slowly and are localized, while thymic carcinomas grow quickly and can spread, with respective 5-year survival rates of 78% and 30%.
- * Treatment depends on tumor resectability, starting with surgery for early-stage cases, followed by chemotherapy for more advanced stages, while conditions like myasthenia gravis are associated with these tumors and can be treated through various methods, including extended thymectomy.
Background: This study evaluated the prevalence and quantity of lymph nodes at particular stations of the mediastinum in patients with lung cancer. These data are important to radiologists, pathologists, and thoracic surgeons because they can serve as a benchmark when assessing the completeness of lymph node dissection. However, relevant data in the literature are scarce.

Background: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the length of hospital stay and complication rate of patients before and after application o f t he E nhanced R ecovery A fter S urgery ( ERAS) protocols.
Methods: Between January 2001 and January 2021, a total of 845 patients (687 males, 158 females; mean age: 55±11 years; range, 19 to 89 years) who were operated with the diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: patients between 2001 and 2010 were evaluated as pre-ERAS (Group 1, n=285), patients between 2011 and 2015 as preparation for ERAS period (Group 2, n=269), and patients who had resection between 2016 and 2021 as the ERAS period (Group 3, n=291).
