Thymectomy

This is a procedure involving the removal of the thymus gland. The thymus sits in the upper chest and plays a vital role in the development of your immune system. For people living with MG, the thymus gland is abnormal. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a thymectomy, where the thymus is removed - this is a typical recommendation for people under the age of 60 with moderate or severe gMG.

If you are concerned about anything you have read in this article, please seek advice from your healthcare provider.
