Abstract

Thymomas are tumours originating from the epithelial tissue of the thymus. While surgery is the mainstay of therapy in thymoma, chemotherapy may significantly improve the prognosis. Effective chemotherapy may be administered in the neoadjuvant setting (prior to surgery), in the adjuvant setting (following surgery), may be combined with radiotherapy or be used for palliation in disseminated disease. We report a case of a 66-year-old male with advanced thymoma who received second-line treatment with a good outcome.
