Thymic Tumor Surgery

Thymic tumor surgery involves the removal of tumors from the thymus, a small gland located in the chest that plays a role in the immune system. The surgery is typically performed when the tumor is cancerous or causing symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or chest pain. Surgeons may use traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the tumor's size and position. The goal is to eliminate the tumor and prevent its spread, and recovery often includes monitoring for potential complications or recurrence. This surgery can significantly improve a patient’s quality of life and overall health.
