Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thymic carcinoma is a rare mediastinal neoplasm, and little is known about its genetic variability, which has hampered the development of targeted therapies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We tested a next-generation sequencing panel containing 50 common cancer-related genes in 48 cases of thymic carcinoma and 6 cases of thymic neuroendocrine tumor. RESULTS: We detected 42 variant calls in 21 of 54 cases....
