Support & Advocacy for those Affected by Thymic Cancers
-
ThymicUK is a registered charity established by patients with thymic cancers, their carers, and families and friends.
Our purposes are to provide support, advocate and share information, facilitate research and ultimately to improve the treatments available for these rare cancers in the United Kingdom. Through these endeavours ThymicUK hopes to increase the overall survival and quality of life of patients with thymic cancers.
We do not offer medical advice but we have an active Facebook group where experiences and information can be shared and we hold regular virtual and face to face meetings. ThymicUK is a member of the British Thoracic Oncology Group (BTOG) Thymic Malignancy Special Interest Group.
