Thymic Malignancy Awareness Month
MAY, 2022
Tumors of the thymus gland are a group of rare diseases, with an incidence of less than 0.2 per 100,000 people (www.seer.cancer.gov) . Both patients and doctors hearing the diagnosis “thymic tumor” or “mediastinal tumor” often do not know what it means, how to proceed and where to look for specialists experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
With this in mind, ITMIG launched the initiative:
May – Thymic Malignancy Awareness Month
In May, we want to propose a series of events that will increase the knowledge of these rare neoplasms among patients and their families, as well as among doctors of various specialties who do not deal with mediastinal diseases on a daily basis.
Events organised by ITMIG and other societies or institutions
