Résumé

Thymic carcinomas are aggressive and difficult to treat a subset of thymic epithelial tumours that represent a heterogeneous group of rare intrathoracic malignancies. The treatment strategy of thymic carcinomas is based on whether surgical resection may be achieved, which represents the most significant favourable prognostic factor on survival. For this study, we took advantage of the unique prospective Réseau tumeurs THYMiques et Cancer (RYTHMIC) database to describe baseline characteristics, analyse treatment strategies in light of existing guidelines and provide landmark patient outcomes data with regards to response and survival of patients in a real-life clinical practice setting.
