Advanced thymic carcinoma (TC) is a very aggressive disease. To date there are no established treatment options for the refractory and recurrent disease and only a few prospective trials have been conducted in patients with TC. Here we present a case of a relapsed TC patient, who, by using combination chemotherapy, showed a positive response to sorafenib with C-KIT exon 11 mutation.
晚期胸腺癌(TC)是一种侵袭性很强的疾病。迄今为止,对于难治性和复发性疾病尚无既定的治疗选择,仅对少数 TC 患者进行了一些前瞻性试验。在此,我们报告了一例复发性 TC 患者的病例,该患者使用联合化疗,对伴有 C-KIT 外显子 11 突变的索拉非尼表现出积极的反应。
