Anterior mediastinal tumor is not necessarily lung cancer, but may also be other benign tumors.
There are benign and malignant anterior mediastinal tumors, only some of them develop in the anterior mediastinum, so they are called mediastinal lung cancer, which is relatively rare; however, many of them are benign tumors, and the specific nature of them should be determined according to the pathology, tissue biopsy, etc. Generally speaking, benign anterior mediastinal tumors can be completely cured through surgical resection, and the cure rate is relatively high.
Generally speaking, benign anterior mediastinal tumors can be completely cured after surgical resection, and the cure rate is still relatively high; if it is mediastinal lung cancer, it needs to be treated with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy in conjunction with the staging, which is relatively more difficult to treat.
