Thymic cancer rarely occurs in children and adolescents, and it is known to occur most often after middle age.

Recently, thymomas or thymic cancers have been found on simple chest X-rays and low-dose chest CT scans.

Ideally, early detection is done through regular check-ups such as chest x-rays and CT.

It is a very rare cancer.

It usually occurs in the middle age or high age group in their 40s and 60s, and Asians have a higher incidence than Westerners.

About half of the thymic cancers show no symptoms.

Even if you have symptoms, you may have difficulty breathing, coughing, chest pain, and a feeling of foreign body that is hard to swallow.

In some cases, symptoms of myasthenia gravis appear.
