Types of Thoracic Malignancies ?

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality globally, affecting both men and women. It is a malignant (cancerous) development that appears in the lungs, typically beginning in the cells that line the airways.

Esophageal cancer

Esophageal cancer is a kind of cancer that originates in the esophagus, which is the muscular tube that links your throat and stomach. It moves ingested food from your mouth to your stomach.

Thymic Tumor

Thymic tumors are rare malignancies that arise in the thymus gland. The thymus is a tiny, squishy gland found in the top region of your chest, directly below the breastbone. It is essential for the development of the immune system.

Mediastinal Tumor

A mediastinal tumor is a growth of abnormal cells that forms in the mediastinum, which is the centermost section of your chest cavity. This space is situated between your lungs and surrounded by your breastbone in front, spine in back, and ribs on either side.

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare and dangerous cancer that begins in the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue that lines various organs in your body.

Tracheal tumor

Tracheal tumors are rare growths that develop in the trachea, the windpipe that transports air from the larynx (voice box) to the lungs. These tumors might be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
