A study of 229 patients with TC (Masaoka Stage I–IV, ESTS database) identified 5- and 10-year OS rates of 0.61 and 0.37 and 5- and 10-year FFR rates of 0.60 and 0.43. At multivariate analysis, incomplete resections and advanced stage (Masaoka–Koga Stage III–IV) had a negative impact on OS, P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively. The authors concluded that surgical resection of TC should be undertaken whenever possible [9]. Five- and 10-year OS of patients with TC (n = 17) with pleural involvement in the current study was comparable, 56.0% and 0% (6 deaths by the end of 10 years), respectively.
