Today’s awareness snippet:

A 2019 figure from NHS Cancer Data highlights that that year there were 329 cases of thymic cancer (malignant neoplasm) in the UK, just 0.09% of all registered cancers in the UK that year.

The rarity of these diseases is highlighted in the lack of research.

Thymic carcinoma and Thymoma are both so rare that there are no documented statistics for the incidence of this disease in Cancer Research UK.
