Mediastinal thymic carcinoma is a cancerous tumour that originates in the thymus gland, located in the mediastinum (the area between the lungs). The 5-year survival rate for patients with mediastinal thymic carcinoma is around 35%, and approximately 28% survive for at least 10 years.
Many sufferers of Mediastinal thymic carcinoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Mediastinal thymic carcinoma. We have recently created an Mediastinal thymic carcinoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
