In 2014, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC)/International Thymic Malignancies Interest Group (ITMIG) launched a worldwide Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging proposal for the next edition of thymic tumours. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the proposed new staging system specific to the thymic well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (TWDNC).
