Targeted drug combo shows promise for rare chest tumors
Disease control OngoingThis study tested whether adding the targeted drug cetuximab to standard chemotherapy before surgery could improve outcomes for people with advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma. The trial enrolled 18 adults with stage II to IVA disease. Researchers measured how many tumors comple…

Robot-Assisted surgery for lung cancer and thymoma: a safer approach?
Disease control OngoingThis study is testing a new robotic surgical system (da Vinci SP) for removing part or all of a lung (lobectomy) or the thymus gland (thymectomy) in people with lung cancer, benign lung disease, thymoma, or myasthenia gravis. The goal is to see if the system is safe and works wel…
