In this phase three national, multicenter, UK randomized controlled trial, the authors seek to compare outcomes after extended pleurectomy decortication plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. The trial recruited patients between 2015 and 2021 from 26 UK hospitals, recruiting and randomly assigning patients with a 1:1 allocation ratio.

This study evaluated the surgical and oncological results of RATS thymectomy to demonstrate the approach as technically safe with acceptable outcomes. Of 669 patients, complete thymectomy was performed in 98 percent of cases and in 8.5 percent of those cases, resection of surrounding structures was undertaken.
