Thymoma
MONDO:0006456A neoplasm arising from the epithelial cells of the thymus. Although thymomas are usually encapsulated tumors, they may invade the capsule and infiltrate the surrounding tissues or even metastasize to distant anatomic sites. The following morphologic subtypes are currently recognized: type A, type B, type AB, metaplastic, micronodular, microscopic, and sclerosing thymoma. Thymomas type B are further subdivided into types B1, B2, and B3. Thymoma type B3 usually has the most aggressive clinical course.
Also known as: primary thymic epithelial neoplasm, primary thymic epithelial tumor, primary thymic epithelial tumour, thymoma, thymoma (disease), THYM

Can a Two-Drug chemo combo outsmart resistant tumors?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-stage trial is testing whether combining two chemotherapy drugs—liposomal irinotecan and cisplatin—can safely shrink or control advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The study will enroll about 44 adults aged 20 to 85 with various types …

Can a targeted drug shrink Hard-to-Treat thymic tumors?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase II trial is testing whether an experimental drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT) can shrink tumors in people with thymic carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed and has already been treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants receive the drug in…

Fewer radiation sessions may be just as effective for thymic tumors after surgery
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis clinical trial is testing a shorter, more intense course of radiation therapy (called hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people who have had surgery for thymic epithelial tumors, including thymoma and thymic carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach can keep the tumor f…

More chemo before surgery: better odds for rare thymic cancer?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether 6 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery is better than 3 cycles for people with a rare type of thymus gland tumor. About 116 adults with locally advanced but removable tumors will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The goal is to see…
