简要总结
A case series was built after review of available literature by searching four databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library) for observational studies or case reports on routine prophylactic TCT for MEN-1 and the development of thymic carcinoids.
详细描述
Introduction and Importance Malignant thymic carcinoids are uncommon but important entities among patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1). Current treatment guidelines advise the performance of a routine transcervical thymectomy (TCT) during parathyroidectomy, to prevent its development, although data on the yield of this prophylactic TCT is scarce. We aimed to revisit available literature to investigate and summarize the efficacy of routine TCT during neck exploration for parathyroidectomy, for the prevention of thymic carcinoid tumours among MEN-1 patients.
Methods A case series was built after review of available literature by searching four databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library) for observational studies or case reports on routine prophylactic TCT for MEN-1 and the development of thymic carcinoids.
