May 2023 is the second official thymic malignancy awareness month. Read below about how you can get involved and help raise awareness.
Thymic Malignancy Awareness Month is being organised in collaboration with ITMIG.
As rare cancers, thymic cancers need more awareness among medical doctors, clinicians and the wider public. We need this to help facilitate quicker and more accurate diagnoses, more research and ultimately more access to better treatments for individuals.
Some of the activities being planned include:

In-person patient meeting at Guy’s Cancer Centre with talks from allied healthcare professionals and a chance to socialise and catch up with ThymicUK group members.
