[Biologic factors and malignancy in mediastinal neoplasms (author's transl)].
The clinical and histological diagnosis of mediastinal tumors has to be completed with an appreciation of the biological relationship between the tumor and its host. This is most important for neurogenic and thymic tumors. Successful removal is sometimes possible even after a long time of observation. Auxillary use of radiation and cystostatics is recommended.
