Which department should I register for endocrine thymoma?

Dr. Li Yun
For endocrine thymoma, it is recommended to register at the hospital's oncology department or thoracic surgery department. Thymoma refers to benign or malignant tumors occurring in the patient's sternum area, and can be evaluated and treated at either the oncology or thoracic surgery department to determine the severity of the disease. Patients should undergo adenoma resection surgery as early as possible under a physician's guidance to prevent disease progression and deterioration.
