AB014. Effective Somatostatin Analogs in a Case of Advanced Thymoma with No Uptake in the Octreotide Scan

Background: Management of advanced malignant thymoma is very challenging due to the lack of evidence from randomized trials. Despite advanced and non-curable status, most patients achieve long survival and they usually receive several treatment lines along their disease. There is no standard second line, and toxicity of chemotherapy (CT) should be considered for these long survivors. Treatment with somatostatin analogs showed efficacy in patients with refractory recurrent and/or metastatic thymomas.
