Hi, pretreatment of cancer of thymus depends on type and stage of cancer.  Whether it is limited to thymus or spread in other organs also.  In early stage surgery is helpful.  In later stage chemotherapy and radiotherapy is useful.  Please send me details about your cancer. So that I can help you further. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
