Abstract:
Little information is available about the usefulness of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced thymic carcinoma due to a rare anterior mediastinal tumor. We experienced a case of locally advanced thymic carcinoma that responded well to concurrent thoracic radiotherapy combined with cisplatin plus vinorelbine chemotherapy. The patient showed remarkable tumor regression and has remained disease free for over 4 years following combined therapy. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy seems to be effective for locally advanced thymic carcinoma, and cisplatin plus vinorelbine could be an alternative chemotherapy regimen in combination with thoracic radiotherapy in patients with thymic carcinoma.
