AB008. Activated pathways of Thymic Epithelial Tumors: a RYTHMIC study

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare malignancies of the anterior mediastinum with a high histopathological diversity from thymoma A to thymic carcinoma (TC). The biology of TETs is poorly understood and knowledge of the transcriptomic fingerprint of thymoma and TC is limited. Up to 30% of patients will develop associated autoimmune disorders, mainly myasthenia gravis (MG). We aimed to characterize main cancer activation pathways of TET subgroups.
