Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of the number of involved structures (NIS) on the prognosis of patients with thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) who underwent surgery, using data from the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) thymic database.
- Out of 303 patients analyzed, those with more than two involved structures had significantly worse cancer-specific survival (CSS) compared to those with two or fewer, with 5-year CSS rates of 9.5% versus 93.2%, respectively.
- Factors such as neoadjuvant therapy, complete resection, and thymoma histology were associated with better prognosis, highlighting the importance of NIS in determining patient outcomes.
