Overview
Treatment for mediastinal tumors depends on the type of tumor.
- For thymic cancers, surgery is the treatment of choice. It may be followed by radiation or chemotherapy, depending on the stage of the tumor and the success of the surgery.
- For lymphomas, chemotherapy followed by radiation is the treatment of choice.
- For neurogenic tumors of the posterior mediastinum, surgery is the treatment of choice.
