Charter

Tumours of the thymus gland constitute a rare but significant part of thoracic oncology. Management of these tumours can be complex and is often poorly understood. The BTOG Thymic Malignancies SIG is a multi-disciplinary group of interested health care professionals, including the patient advocacy group ThymicUK. The aims of this group are to promote understanding, improve knowledge of thymic tumours and to work co-operatively to improve the management pathways for thymic tumours.
