Efficacy of chest computed tomography prediction of the pathological TNM stage of thymic epithelial tumours

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Feb 15, 2019

White DB, et al. - Researchers investigated the efficacy of chest computed tomography (CT) in predicting the pathological stage of thymic epithelial tumours (TET) using the recently introduced tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) staging with comparison to the modified Masaoka staging. Two thoracic radiologists retrospectively reviewed preoperative chest CT examinations in cases of resected TET with sampled lymph nodes (2006–2016) and radiologically (r) staged these using both staging systems. Outcomes suggest that in two-thirds of surgically resected TET, preoperative chest CT was helpful in accurately predicting p-TNM stage, with an agreement between radiological staging and pathological staging superior to the modified Masaoka staging.
