New WHO histologic classification predicts prognosis of thymic epithelial tumors: a clinicopathologic study of 200 thymoma cases from China.
BACKGROUND In 1999, a World Health Organization (WHO) committee published histologic criteria for distinct thymoma entities (labeled as Type A, AB, B1, B2, B3 thymomas) and for the heterogeneous group of thymic carcinomas, collectively called Type C thymomas. Whether WHO-defined histologic thymoma subtypes are of independent prognostic relevance has yet to be proved. METHODS Two hundred thymo...
متن کاملSTAT3 expression correlates with prognosis of thymic epithelial tumors

However, little systematic researches have been reported on the correlation between STAT3 and thymic epithelial tumor (TET). METHODS Expression of STAT3 protein in 80 thymic epithelial tumors was detected by immunohistochemistry (...
متن کاملRelationship Between CT Manifestations of Thymic Epithelial Tumors and the WHO Pathological Classification
Thymic epithelial tumors account for 15-21.7% of mediastinal tumors and 47% of anterior mediastinal tumors (Chen et al., 2002; Engels and Pfeiffer, 2003). Until 2004, there was a wide range of pathological classifications for thymic tumors (Travis et al., 2004; Okumura et al., 2008). The World Health Organization (WHO) updated the pathological classification in 2004, and thymic tumors are now c...
