OBJECTIVES: A retrospective database was developed by the European Society of
Thoracic Surgeons, collecting patients submitted to surgery for thymic tumours to
analyse clinico-pathological prognostic predictors. METHODS: A total of 2151
incident cases from 35 institutions were collected from 1990 to 2010.
Clinical-pathological characteristics were analysed, including age, gender,
associated myasthenia gravis stage (Masaoka), World Health Organization
histology, type of thymic tumour [thymoma, thymic carcinoma (TC), neuroendocrine
thymic tumour (NETT)], type of resection (complete/incomplete), tumour size,
adjuvant therapy and recurrence. Primary outcome was overall survival (OS);
secondary outcomes were the proportion of incomplete resections, disease-free
survival and the cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR). RESULTS: A total of
2030 patients were analysed for OS (1798 thymomas, 191 TCs and 41 NETTs).
Ten-year OS was 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.69-0.75). Complete resection (R0)
was achieved in 88% of the patients. Ten-year CIR was 0.12 (0.10-0.15).
Predictors of shorter OS were increased age (P < 0-001), stage [III vs I HR 2.66,
1.80-3.92; IV vs I hazard ratio (HR) 4.41, 2.67-7.26], TC (HR 2.39, 1.68-3.40)
and NETT (HR 2.59, 1.35-4.99) vs thymomas and incomplete resection (HR 1.74,
1.18-2.57). Risk of recurrence increased with tumour size (P = 0.003), stage (III
vs I HR 5.67, 2.80-11.45; IV vs I HR 13.08, 5.70-30.03) and NETT (HR 7.18,
3.48-14.82). Analysis using a propensity score indicates that the administration
of adjuvant therapy was beneficial in increasing OS (HR 0.69, 0.49-0.97) in R0
resections. CONCLUSIONS: Masaoka stages III-IV, incomplete resection and
non-thymoma histology showed a significant impact in increasing recurrence and in
worsening survival. The administration of adjuvant therapy after complete
resection is associated with improved survival.
