Most thymomas are not without the need for surgery, but are surgically removed as early as possible.
The degree of malignancy of thymoma is relatively low, and early surgical resection can obtain a good prognosis. The tumor may invade to the surrounding tissues or metastasize to distant places, therefore, it is necessary to do surgery.
In addition, as the thymoma continues to grow, it may compress the trachea and cause breathing difficulties, compress the superior vena cava and cause jugular vein rage and bruising of the mouth and lips. Prompt surgery is also needed to relieve symptoms.
If the thymoma is no longer operable, or recurs again after surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be chosen, and surgery can be performed again after the lesion shrinks.
If you find that you have thymoma, go to the hospital in time and let the doctor choose the appropriate treatment according to the situation.
