Thymic carcinoma and thymic epithelial tumors are rare malignancies that arise from the thymus, a small organ located in the chest that plays a crucial role in the immune system. These tumors can ...

Carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation (CASTLE) is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects the thyroid gland but can also occur in other tissues, such as the salivary glands.

It is used different indications such as chronic Hepatitis B, cancer adjuvant, vaccine enhancer and immunostimulant. It is used as an adjuvant for influenza vaccination in immunocompromised ...

Eculizumab effectively reduced MG-ADL scores and corticosteroid use in thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis patients by week 12. The monoclonal antibody targets complement protein C5, preventing ...

The thymus gland creates T cells and other immune-related cells that fight infection and is an important immune organ. There are two major types of thymic tumors — thymomas and thymic carcinomas.

The paper raised concern that removal of the thymus can approximately double the risk of cancer and death over the ensuing decade or two and possibly increase the risk of developing autoimmune ...

However, the isoantigens studied may have been irrelevant to tumor progression, and simplification of other antigens may have occurred. A serologic method that permits recognition of thymus-derived ...
