In the advanced stage of B3 thymoma, palliative resection is generally not recommended, but chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other treatments can be carried out according to the doctor’s instruction, which can prolong the life span and improve the patient’s uncomfortable clinical symptoms.
B3 thymoma is a kind of malignant tumor, when the patient is in the advanced stage of disease, the cancer cells in the body have been widely metastasized, at this time, palliative resection surgery can only remove part of the lesions in the body, but there are still a lot of cancer cells in the body after the operation, so the significance of the operation is not very great in the advanced stage of disease.
Secondly, patients with advanced disease have poor physical condition and poor tolerance to surgery. After the trauma of surgery and anesthesia, the intraoperative risk will increase, and complications such as infection and lung atelectasis will easily occur after surgery, which will result in a poorer prognosis. Therefore, it is generally recommended that patients with advanced stage B3 thymoma undergo conservative treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy as prescribed by the doctor.
It is recommended that patients with advanced stage B3 thymoma go to the hospital for professional treatment as soon as possible and do not delay the treatment. During the treatment period, patients should go to the hospital for regular checkups.
