Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma Treatment

Thymoma and thymic carcinoma are rare tumors of the thymus gland. With thoracic surgery, oncology and neurology working together, your treatment is planned by our council.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Treatment Guided by Board Decision

The strategy (sequence of surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy) is set by the multidisciplinary oncology board according to Masaoka-Koga stage and WHO histologic type.

Da Vinci Robotic / VATS Minimally Invasive Thymectomy

The mediastinum is an excellent site for robotic and minimally invasive surgery; in early-stage tumors this provides less pain, faster recovery and good cosmetic results.

Co-management with Myasthenia Gravis

Safe perioperative management of myasthenia gravis through coordination of neurology and thoracic surgery.

TrueBeam LINAC Radiotherapy

High-accuracy radiation with IMRT; for adjuvant/curative intent in advanced, unresectable or incompletely resected (R1-R2) disease.

Precise Mediastinal Staging with PET-CT / CT / MRI

Accurate detection of tumor spread, invasion of adjacent structures and pleural involvement.

Internationally Recognized Team & International Patient Support

Thoracic oncology team; visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter support.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
