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.
