Thymus gland cancer statistics
Statistics for thymus gland cancer are not reported separately but are included in the general category other endocrine cancers. This broad category includes thymus gland and similar cancers together. So the numbers do not necessarily show the new cases (incidence) and deaths (mortality) specifically for thymus gland cancer.
It can take several years to collect and confirm cancer data, so the statistics from recent years may not be available for some time. The most recent data available are provided below.
