摘要: Metastatic thymic carcinoma is an aggressive cancer that usually responds poorly to multimodal therapies. Although surgical resection the preferred treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic disease, clinical prognosis typically poor. The present study describes a 63-year-old patient who underwent range of antitumor treatments, including resection, post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy several drugs, but ultimately responded nab-paclitaxel (nab-P) nedaplatin. Subsequent six cycles nab-P nedaplatin, lung peritoneal metastases decreased in size pleural effusion was reduced. To best our knowledge, this first describe response chemotherapy.
