In the last years, 11 patients with tumors of anterior mediastinum were treated at the Oncologic Centre in Lódź. Lymphocytic-epithelial thymoma was diagnosed in 6 patients whereas thymoma was suspected in 5 patients. Therapy was a problem mainly in these 5 patients, especially if lymphoma was considered in the differential diagnosis. The authors suggest that therapy should start with cytostatic agents in all patients with mediastinal tumors and morphology which not justifies thymoma diagnosis. Radiotherapy may follow in these cases in which 1-2 chemotherapy cycles failed.
在过去几年中，罗兹肿瘤中心对11例前纵隔肿瘤患者进行了治疗。6例患者被诊断为淋巴细胞上皮型胸腺瘤，5例患者疑似胸腺瘤。治疗主要是这5例患者面临的问题，尤其是在鉴别诊断中考虑淋巴瘤的情况下。作者建议，对于所有纵隔肿瘤且形态学上不能确诊为胸腺瘤的患者，治疗应从细胞毒性药物开始。在1 - 2个化疗周期失败的情况下，可随后进行放疗。
