Some patients with type B2 thymoma can survive for a long time.
Type B2 thymoma belongs to cortical thymoma, and its malignancy degree belongs to medium degree. Early and middle-stage patients can take radical surgery to remove the tumor, and give timely radiotherapy after surgery, and the five-year survival rate of the patients is about 80%, and the data show that most patients can survive more than 5 years, and some of them can survive for more than 10 years.
If type B2 thymoma is diagnosed at advanced stage, the tumor generally cannot be removed by radical surgery, and the treatment can only be based on radiotherapy, targeted therapy, etc., the survival period of most patients will be shortened significantly, and very few patients can survive more than five years, with a poor prognosis in general.
Once B2 thymoma is diagnosed, it is recommended to consult the hospital as soon as possible and give standardized treatment under the guidance of thoracic surgery or oncology doctors.
