Thymoma is rare, but it is the most common tumor in\nadults affecting the mediastinum, which is the cavity between the lungs containing the heart,\nesophagus, and trachea. A tumor of the thymus tends to grow slowly and rarely spreads to other parts\nof the body. However, of the estimated 400 Americans who develop this cancer each year, half are\ndiagnosed with metastatic thymoma. When the cancer metastasizes, only 45% of patients survive five\nyears after their diagnosis.\nPlease see the\n DICOM converted Slide Microscopy images for the TCGA-THYM collection (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12689913)\n page to learn more about the histopathology\nimages and to\nobtain any supporting metadata for this collection.","patients":124,"studies":124,"series":560,"instances":1810,"size_TB":0.327,"modalities":["SEG","SM"],"licenses":[{"license_short_name":"CC BY 3.0","series":318,"size_TB":0.327},{"license_short_name":"CC BY 4.0","series":242,"size_TB":0.0}]}
