Abstract
CD47 is a tumor marker that inhibits phagocytosis thereby providing tumor cells with a means of escape from immune surveillance and elimination. Anti-CD47 therapy is a promising new immunotherapy across numerous tumor types but have not been tested in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs; thymomas and thymic carcinomas). TETs are rare tumors which are difficult to treat, especially with PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors, due to the excessive rates of immune-related adverse effects. This study investigated the levels of CD47 expression in TETs to explore the possibility of anti-CD47 therapies.
