Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Thymic carcinoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm and little is known about its tumorigenesis. There is no effective treatment except for complete resection, and the prognosis of advanced cases is poor. To identify the mutations associated with tumorigenesis, we analyzed genetic profile of thymic carcinoma using targeted next-generation sequencing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We sequenced about 409...
