abstract = {Background: Thymic neuroendocrine tumors (TNT), in the anterior mediastinum, are extremely rare diseases which have significantly poor prognoses. Studies have rarely provided conclusive evidence of the prognostic factors of TNT. Standard therapies have been controversial.
Methods: TNT patients (n=173) were enrolled from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (SEER). Univariate and multivariate analyses were utilized to evaluate predictive factors of prognoses. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the plausible correlation between histological grade, and cancer invasion. Stratification analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant therapies.
Results: According to our analysis, local Masaoka stage, surgery, radiotherapy, and non-chemotherapy predicted better overall survival (OS) (P},
