Background Thymic carcinoma is an aggressive mediastinal neoplasm with a poor prognosis, but the factors that contribute to its prognosis are not completely understood. Myasthenia gravis (MG) can coexist with thymic carcinoma with low incidence, but the effect MG has on thymic carcinoma prognosis is unknown. Here, we investigated the prognostic factors of thymic carcinoma and the influence of MG on patients with this disease.
