Our mission is to ease the suffering of cancer patients, and to support patients with thymic related cancers. Thymic related cancers are a relatively rare, but aggressive, form of cancer affecting both children and adults. These cancers include thymic carcinomas, malignant thymomas, invasive thymomas, and thymic epithelial tumors. While great strides are being made in other areas of cancer research and treatment, thymic-related cancers have a generally poor prognosis yet are often ignored by medical researchers. The goals of the Foundation include: * To collect and share information regarding the treatment, prognosis, and causes of thymic-related cancers and carcinomas, and making this information available at no charge. * To educate family physicians and oncologists to the nature of thymic-related cancers to improve diagnosis and treatments. * To identify the various modes of treatment and to promote research into other modes. * To help promote the development of support systems and a better understanding of the various forms of thymic-related cancers. * To collect anecdotal patient histories that may help other patients. * To develop a database of physicians, pathologists, and other medical personal with experience in thymic-related cancers and carcinomas. * To develop products (such as wearing apparel for radiation-sensitive skin) and services to ease the suffering of patients having radiation therapy to the head and neck area due to thymic-related cancers and carcinomas.
