Abstract: Thymic carcinoma is a rare and aggressive thymic epithelial tumor with high metastatic potential and poor prognosis.Due to its low incidence,relevant clinical studies are relatively limited,and perioperative treatment strategies remain controversial.In recent years,with the promotion of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment models and the emergence of novel therapeutic approaches,significant progress has been made in the perioperative management of thymic carcinoma.Based on the latest NCCN guidelines and relevant clinical research evidence,this article systematically reviews the latest advances in perioperative treatment of thymic carcinoma,including preoperative assessment,surgical treatment,neoadjuvant therapy,postoperative adjuvant therapy,and multidisciplinary management.

Key words: thymic carcinoma, perioperative treatment, neoadjuvant therapy, adjuvant radiotherapy, multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment
