FIGURE 2.

The post-recurrence survival of 21 patients with recurrent thymic carcinoma after complete resection was analyzed according to the different treatment modalities. Patients who underwent surgical resection followed by chemotherapy had a significantly better post-recurrence survival than those without treatment (A). The post-recurrence survival of patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy was also significantly better than those without treatment (B). There was no significant difference in post-recurrence survival between patients undergoing surgery followed by chemotherapy and those undergoing chemoradiation for recurrent thymic carcinoma (C).
