Correlation of CT Scan Parameters With Histology, Stage and Prognosis in Surgically-treated Thymomas
In Brief
An observational study for Thymoma and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants.
Detailed Summary
Thymoma is the most common primary tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Complete surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment of these tumors. The staging and histological classification of thymoma is still a matter of discussion. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan parameters that correlate with histology, stage and prognosis also still have to be completely assessed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential association between clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics in patients submitted to surgical treatment for thymoma, assessing their prognostic value. Data of patients submitted to surgical resection for pathologically proven thymoma at our Department of Thoracic Surgery between January 2005 and December 2015 will be retrospectively reviewed. The correlation of preoperative CT scan features, histological and pathological characteristics of thymomas will be evaluated, assessing the prognostic role of these factors.
