Abstract

Background Whether thoracoscopic surgical treatment is acceptable for invasive thymoma, one of main anterior mediastinal tumor remains to be still controversial. However, we performed the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for Masaoka stage III thymoma invaded to adjacent organs after acquisition of the patient permission. We examined the feasibility and efficacy of video-assissted thoracoscopic thymectomy (VAT-T) with lateral thoracotomy for stage III thymoma.
