Immune-Related Molecular Profiling of Thymoma With Myasthenia Gravis
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Background: Approximately 50% of thymoma patients also show myasthenia gravis (MG), which is an autoimmune disease; however, the pathogenesis of MG-associated thymoma remains elusive.

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 135-142, January 2023., 2023 A total of 445 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in which thymectomy was performed were included in this cohort. Nineteen patients (4.3%) developed a new autoimmune disease (AD) after thymectomy. The most common types of new onset ADs after thymectomy were Hashimoto's thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which were different from those before ...
