In patients with known MG status ( n = 17 in Indian and n = 25 in German cohort), a clear trend towards more frequent MG was observed in the Indian group ( p = 0.0504; 48 vs. 82%).

On the other hand, we could detect a highly significant difference with respect to disease stage at clinical presentation, showing a clear majority of Indian patients at Masaoka-Koga Stage I (64.9% of all Indian thymoma cases) in comparison to only 20.8% of German patients at this early stage ( p < 0.0001; Table 1 ).
