Objectives: Complete removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue is the most important prognostic factor such as survival after surgery. When the tumor invades the phrenic nerve, the impact of intraoperative phrenic nerve sacrifice on the short- and long-term prognosis of patients is not clear. This study aims to explore the differences in prognosis between patients with malignant thymoma with and without phrenic nerve sacrifice during surgery, as well as analyze related factors.

Background: Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are rare and aggressive thymic tumors that are usually detected in advanced stages. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; however, the role of surgery in advanced disease is controversial due to factors such as myasthenia gravis; thus, decisions about whether to perform surgical interventions are complex. Further studies need to be conducted to explore the potential benefits of surgery in the treatment of advanced thymic tumors.
