Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with intrathyroidal thymic carcinoma (ITC): a retrospective cohort study
Despite with an overall favorable survival, ITC is still prone to lymph node and distant metastasis. Lateral neck metastasis and incomplete tumor resection predicted a poorer outcome. Once achievable, radical surgery combined with radiotherapy should be performed to improve local control, while immunotherapy and targeted therapies are potentially effective in advanced disease.
