MODERN APPROACHES TO DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OF MEDISTINAL TUMORS (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Keywords:
mediastinal tumors, diagnosis, surgical treatment, literature reviewAbstract
The article provides a literature review on the modern approach to diagnosis and surgical treatment of mediastinal tumors. It is noted that despite the progress in diagnostics and minimally invasive surgery, mediastinal tumors require a more detailed and personalized approach. There are still many controversies and uncertainties in the diagnosis and treatment of thymus tumors. Large-scale prospective and randomized studies are lacking, which hinders the creation of high-quality guidelines
