Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Thymic carcinoma is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis, and case accumulation at single institutions remains limited, resulting in a lack of sufficient research. Recent studies have suggested that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) within tumor tissues may serve as novel biomarkers in cancer immunotherapy. In addition, peripheral blood-derived markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have attracted attention as prognostic indicators in various solid tumors. However, no study has comprehensively evaluated the relationship between these markers and clinical outcomes in thymic carcinoma.
This multicenter retrospective study aims to assess the association between TILs, TLSs, and NLR with postoperative recurrence and prognosis in thymic carcinoma. We will also analyze preoperative imaging findings, surgical procedures, and other clinical factors to identify prognostic indicators.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Association between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), and peripheral blood-derived biomarkers (NLR, PLR, LMR, PNI, and mGPS) using surgical tissue specimens, and postoperative survival in patients with thymic carcinoma.

Key secondary outcomes

Evaluation of postoperative recurrence, cause-specific mortality, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS).
Analysis of overall survival and recurrence-free survival stratified by surgical procedure.
