title: [Surgical therapy with adjuvant radiotherapy of thymoma: results of 104 cases].
abstract: One hundred and four cases of thymomas were treated between 1967 and 1991 at the Chest Disease Institute, Kyoto University. Forty-two cases were clinical stage I, 12 cases were stage II, 42 cases were stage III and 8 cases were stage IV. Nineteen patients had MG, 17 patients had SVC syndrome. Ninety-six cases were surgically resected combined with radiation therapy. Overall survival was 77.9% at 5 years and 62.5% at 10 years. The survival of 62 cases of invasive thymoma was 77.5% at 5 years and 54.8% at 10 years. We've got better prognosis when total or subtotal resection of invasive thymoma could be accomplished, i.e. 88.8% at 5 years and 72.6% at 10 years.
