Nivolumab treatment for metastatic thymic epithelial tumors

Abstract

After the results of the previous study could be supported by randomized prospective studies with more number of patients, nivolumab may be considered as an option in patients with thymic epithelial tumors who have received multiple line treatments. However, given the high rate of severe toxicities, there is need to find out a reliable marker to prediction patients who will derive benefit or exhibit toxicity.
