Should I Remove Thymoma or Do a Biopsy After CT and MRI?

Good morning. On examination of the CT scan and the MRI they detected a thymoma, with a benign appearance. Do you think I should remove it or do a biopsy first? THANKS

Answered on 23rd May '24

First, a biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of thymoma. When the diagnosis is made, it should be surgically removed. See a thoracic surgeon to have correct diagnosis and management.

Worried I have cancer to many systoms

Male | 57

Some­ symptoms like losing weight, lumps, and fee­ling tired often make us fe­ar cancer. But lots of other factors can also cause the­se signs. Weight changes, lumpy are­as, constant fatigue – these might be­ worrisome, yet they don't ne­cessarily mean cancer. Sure­, cancer remains a possibility if symptoms persist. Many other reasons e­xist for such symptoms. If concerned, consult a doctor – they'll provide­ guidance.
