Twenty-seven patients received radical resection with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Anterior approach was the predominant treatment method in open surgery (25 cases, 36.2%), while the anterolateral approach was used in 8 cases (6 cases of hemiclamshell incisions and 2 cases of trap-door incisions). In addition, we observed 1 case of posterior approach, 2 cases of posterolateral approach and 1 case of supraclavicular approach combined with posterolateral approach. Pathological examination results revealed 67 cases of radical resection and 2 cases of microscopic residual. Neurilemmoma was the most widespread pathological type (30 cases, 43.5%), followed by tumour originating from fibrous tissues (5 cases, 7.2%). A 3-year overall survival rate of the 69 patients was 89.9%, while a 5-year overall survival rate was 85.5%.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Tumours associated with the cervicothoracic junction are characterized by their unique location, complex anatomy and various histopathological subtypes.
