About

This study for a single-center prospective phase II randomized controlled train to assess the efficacy and safety of Induction therapy on thymoma .Methods patients with thymoma (stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳa) were treated with 2 cycles of (NAB)-paclitaxel plus Cisolation (Paclitaxel For Injection(Aalbumin Bound）125 mg/m2 Day 1 、Day8 ,Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 Day 1of each 3-week cycle）or CEP(cisplatin 50 mg/m2 Day 1, epirubicin 75 mg/m2 Day 1,cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 Day 1 of each 3-week cycle). Following chemotherapy to evaluate the patient for operation. Patients without undergo surgery will be continued to receive 2 cycles of Primary chemotherap.
