Related categories were grouped for statistical analyses; group 1, medullary thymoma and mixed thymoma; group 2, cortical predominant thymoma; group 3, cortical thymoma and well\u2010differentiated thymic carcinoma; group 4, other thymic carcinomas; and group 5, unclassified. Group 3 tumours were more frequently associated with the myasthenia gravis syndrome compared with group 1 tumours (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.001). They also presented at a more advanced stage. Groups 1 and 2 showed an excellent prognosis (100% survival at 10 years). The 10\u2010year survival for groups 3 and 4 patients was 40% and 30% respectively. Pure medullary thymoma made up a higher proportion of our cases (10.3%) than those of a similar Caucasian study (5.3%). The eight thymic carcinomas (group 4) included two thymic lymphoepitheliomas. We conclude that the histogenetic classification evaluated shows a clear correlation with prognosis and clinical features, even when tested on separate geographic groups, where pathogenetic factors may be different. A common approach to classification of thymic epithelial tumours would greatly facilitate future studies on these possible differences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.1994.tb00594.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]],"date-time":"2007-04-03T14:31:03Z","timestamp":1175610663000},"page":"21-29","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Evaluation of a histogenetic classification for thymic epithelial tumours"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"F.C.S.","family":"HO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"K.H.","family":"FU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S.Y.","family":"LAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S.W.","family":"CHIU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"A.C.L.","family":"CHAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"H.K.","family":"M\u00dcLLER\u2010HERMELINK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00217140"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","first-page":"745","article-title":"The human thymus microenvironment.
