Genomic and immune microenvironment profiling in a case of metastatic
intrathyroid thymic carcinoma
Abstract
Metastatic intrathyroid thymic carcinoma (ITTC) is a rare cancer that
has no effective drugs. Herein, we report that comprehensive cancer
mutation analysis revealed amplification of CD274 gene encoding PD-L1.
Multiplex immunohistochemistry also clarified the presence of an
immunosuppressive microenvironment via a PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in
metastatic ITTC.
