[Malignant thymoma with intracranial metastases].

Only registered users can translate articles

Malignant thymomas usually proliferate invasively and rarely metastasize to other organs. Since the metastases occur predominantly to the liver and kidneys, there have been only 16 cases with metastatic spreads of malignant thymomas to the central nervous system reported in the literature. A

An anterior mediastinal cystic lesion in an 11-year-old mongrel dog was examined. The dog showed dysbasia and vomiting due to megaoesophagus, and anterior mediastinal round mass lesion, approximately 35 mm in diameter, was found by X ray. Based on clinical examinations, the dog was diagnosed as

Treatment of invasive thymoma with single-agent ifosfamide.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate single-agent ifosfamide in the treatment of invasive thymoma. METHODS Fifteen patients (eight male and seven female) with histologically confirmed invasive thymoma were treated. The median age was 48 years (range, 23 to 76 years). Four patients had stage III disease, seven

Primary chemotherapy with adriamycin, cisplatin, vincristine and cyclophosphamide in locally advanced thymomas: a single institution experience.

Only registered users can translate articles

From 1990 to 1997, 16 consecutive patients with stage III and IVa invasive thymoma were treated in a single institution with primary chemotherapy consisting in adriamycin (40 mg m(-2)), cisplatin (50 mg m(-2)) administered intravenously on day 1, vincristine (0.6 mg m(-2)) on day 2 and

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with adriamycin, cisplatin, vincristine and cyclophosphamide (ADOC) in invasive thymomas: results in six patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Locally advanced malignant thymomas are usually radically resectable in about 60% of stage III but hardly ever in stage IVA. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery could improve both resection rate and curability. Cisplatin containing regimens have repeatedly been found to be highly
