For our listeners to know, it just sits in the front of the chest wall. As you mentioned, we were always taught that the thymus was important when you're a kid, and then it's one of the first organs to atrophy. They factored out this issue of preoperative infection, cancer, or autoimmune disease and excluded that from their analysis, and they still found that this all-cause mortality was higher in the thymectomy group. They also looked at production of the CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes, the T cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and we're also seeing that there are distinct changes with those. Cancer, the thymectomy group, was 7.4% versus 3.7%. Startlingly, at 5 years after surgery, all-cause mortality was higher in the thymectomy group - specifically 8.1% versus 2.8% in those folks who had the same kind of situation but didn't have their thymus removed. They had 1,146 patients who had undergone thymectomy and a matched control group, and this was their primary cohort. In this study, they looked at this routine removal of the thymus, which happens in a variety of surgical procedures, and then they evaluated the risk of death, cancer, and autoimmune disease among those patients who had undergone thymectomy as compared with a demographically matched group of controls, who also had similar cardiothoracic surgery, but their thymus was left intact.
