Utilization of Minimally Invasive Thymectomy and Margin-Negative Resection for Early-Stage Thymoma

ConclusionsThe use of MIT for resection of early-stage thymoma is increasing and is not associated with lower rates of R0 resection than OT. Reasons for the relatively low rates of R0 resection among all thymectomies requires further investigation, and long-term outcomes data are needed to better define the oncologic effectiveness of MIT.
