Experience is very important in the effective treatment of tumors located in the chest next to vital structures such as the heart and lungs. Thymoma and other thymic tumors are also often associated with complex autoimmune conditions, which require yet another level of expertise.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, a team of experts that includes surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurologists, radiologists, pathologists, and others work closely together to manage the care of each patient.
