Thymic carcinomas represent approximately 10% of thymic tumors. In our approach to patients with thymic carcinoma, we emphasize multimodality treatment with close communication between the pathologist ...

Thymus cancer is staged using the TNM staging system, which organizes the disease into stage 1 through stage 4 based on the size of the tumor (T), spread to lymph nodes (N) and presence of ...

Thymic epithelial neoplasms are tumors that can show high morphological variability. Given the overall rarity of these tumors, their diagnosis may be challenging, especially as the pathologist is ...

Thymus cancer occurs when cells on the thymus gland grow uncontrollably and form a mass called a tumor. Thymus cancer is rare. Only 400 cases occur in the United States each year. Doctors classify ...

The classification of thymic epithelial tumors is controversial because prediction of the biological behavior of these tumors from their morphologic appearance is difficult. The aim of this study ...

Thymoma is a type of thymus cancer. The thymus is an organ within the chest. Thymoma can cause symptoms such as chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath. Treatment may involve surgery ...

009) and had more aggressive histologies, with the most common tumor type being thymic carcinoma (n = 22, 40.7%) and B3 thymoma (n = 15, 27.8%). GTF2I was the most altered gene in primary thymomas (48 ...

the thymus tissue naturally regenerates. However, regrowth is slow, and restoration of young T-cells takes a long time, leaving individuals more susceptible to infections and tumor recurrence.

In rare cases, malignant degeneration of the thymic tissue occurs. Even though the majority of these tumors grow slowly, they require rapid treatment to save the patient’s life. Surgical removal is ...
