متن کاملEvaluation of metabolic response with 18F-FDG PET-CT in patients with advanced or recurrent thymic epithelial tumors
BACKGROUND Patients with advanced or recurrent thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) often need several consecutive lines of chemotherapy. The aim of this retrospective monocentric study was to test whether 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is able to monitor standard chemotherapy efficacy in those patients and whether metabolic response correlat...
متن کاملPlatinum-based chemotherapy with or without thoracic radiation therapy in patients with unresectable thymic carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Thymic carcinoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm with poor prognosis. Although the clinical benefit of chemotherapy for thymic carcinoma is controversial, cisplatin-based chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy is ordinarily adopted in advanced cases. We evaluated the clinical outcome of platinum-based chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy in unresectable thymic carcin...
