Abstract

In this chapter, we will analyze each one of the proposed staging systems for thymoma and thymic carcinoma. However, since we consider these two tumors to represent different clinicopathological entities, a distinction in the staging system will be discussed with the hope that not only will it help in daily practice when dealing with these tumors but also that it may provide better triaging of patients for treatment purposes.
