Will Chemo Treatment Give Better Survival Rate In Thymoma Patient?
My fiance just had surgery four months ago for a thymoma, it was caught early. He has been treated with CYBER KNIFE and the follow-up visit looks good. The dr. has recommended chemo, will chemo give him a better survival rate than he has right now. the cancer is SLOW GROWING, but malignant.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.. The treatment of thymoma depends on whether the tumor was completely removed or partly removed... If the tumor is completely removed then only radiation will be enough... If you can revert to me with the full biopsy report I will be able to tell you clearly if you need chemo or not... Hope this answered your query... Thanks for contacting Healthcare Magic..
