Prognostic factors and genetic markers in thymic epithelial tumors: A narrative review

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 23, Page 3242-3249, December 2022., 2022
The aim of this review article is to discuss the different prognostic factors and genetic markers of TET and to point out discrepancies and similarities among the available literature (concerning prognostic factors) and more importantly to demonstrate the genetic pathways that could be the basis of a development of new targeted therapies.

Characteristics and outcomes of thymomas in Latin America: Results from over 10 years of experience (CLICaP‐LATimus)

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 1328-1335, May 2021., 2021
Here, we report the largest analysis of clinical characteristics of thymomas and outcomes in Latin American patients. Out of 135 patients included in the study, 21.5% (n = 29) concurrently presented myasthenia gravis. Relapse‐free survival rates at five‐years were 58.5% for stage I–II, and 35.4% for stage III. Five‐year overall survival rates were 73.4%

Inferior Vena Cava and Renal Vein Thrombosis Associated with Thymic Carcinoma

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Thymic tumors are rare mediastinal tumors that can present with a wide variety of symptoms. They can cause distant manifestations and are frequently associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. In our case, we describe the evolution of a 68‐year‐old male whose first manifestation was thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and renal veins.

Paraneoplastic Autoimmunity in Thymus Tumors

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 6, Issue 1-2, Page 129-140, 1998., 1997
Autoimmune phenomena are more frequent in thymic epithelial tumors (TET) than in any other human tumor. Mysthenia gravis (MG) is by far the most common autoimmune disease in thymoma patients. MG is characterized by muscle weakness due to autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), and CD4 +AChR‐specific T cells play a pivotal role for the

Is thymomectomy sufficient for non‐myasthenic early stage thymoma patients? A retrospective, single center experience [PDF]

Thoracic Cancer, 2017
BackgroundThymic complete resection is considered the standard treatment for all thymic tumors; however, the ideal resection for non‐myasthenic early stage thymic tumors has not yet been determined. We conducted a retrospective study to examine this unique scenario.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of 118 early stage thymoma patients who ...

Standardized definitions and concepts of radicality during minimally invasive thymoma resection [PDF]

, 2020
Radical thymectomy is the gold standard treatment for thymoma; in particular, completeness of surgical resection of a well-encapsulated thymoma and adequate margins are considered the most important prognostic factors.

Does the World Health Organization histological classification predict outcomes after thymomectomy? Results of a multicentre study on 750 patients [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2014
The World Health Organization (WHO) thymoma histological classification clinical value remains a controversy. In this study, we evaluated its prognostic significance in patients with thymoma treated with radical intent.Six high-volume Italian Thoracic Surgery Institutions collaborated with their own retrospective anonymized datasets.
