What Is Thymus Cancer?
Thymus Cancer originates from the thymus gland, which is situated just behind the breastbone. This is a small gland right below your voice box and can affect everything from how awake you can feel, to the rhythm of your heartbeat.
Thymus cancer affects a very small percentage of cancer sufferers and is most commonly found in people between the ages of 40 and 60.
No one really knows what the cause of thymus cancer is, but cancers in the surrounding area such as lymphomas and tumours can play a big part.
Some of the symptoms that could potentially highlight someone having thymus cancer include; a constant cough, chest pain, problems swallowing with shortness of breath, a hoarse voice and the neck swelling.
