Charter
Tumours of the thymus gland constitute a rare but significant part of thoracic oncology. Management of these tumours can be complex and is often poorly understood. The BTOG Thymic Malignancies SIG is a multi-disciplinary group of interested health care professionals, including the patient advocacy group ThymicUK. The aims of this group are to promote understanding, improve knowledge of thymic tumours and to work co-operatively to improve the management pathways for thymic tumours.

News: BTOG Launches Anterior Mediastinal Pathway
Anterior mediastinal lesions are an uncommon but increasingly identified finding. Previously, there has been no clear guidance on the initial investigations and management for these lesions leading to significant variation in practice.
The BTOG Thymic Malignancy Special Interest Group has developed the Anterior Mediastinal Pathway, a new diagnostic algorithm for anterior mediastinal lesions, through multidisciplinary discussion and identification of best practice under the coordination of Dr Stephen Robinson and Professor Matthew Evison.
