He aha nā Thymoma a me Thymic Carcinoma? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia me nā kikoʻī!

Ke manaʻo nei ʻoe i kekahi manawa i kahi mea ʻē i loko o kou umauma, he ʻū mau, a i ʻole ka paʻakikī o ka hanu ʻana? ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, hiki i kēia mau mea ke kumu o nā kumu maʻamau a ʻino ʻole. Eia naʻe, he mea kakaikahi loa, hiki i kēia ke lilo i mau hōʻailona o ka maʻi kanesa e pili ana me ka thymus gland . No laila, i kēia lā e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ʻelua mau ʻano maʻi kanesa, ʻo Thymoma a me Thymic Carcinoma . Mai hopohopo, he mea nui loa ia e makaʻala i kēia.

He aha nā Thymoma a me Thymic Carcinoma?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻelua ʻano maʻi kanesa ka thymoma a me ka thymic carcinoma e hoʻomaka ana i loko o kou gland thymus . Aia ka gland thymus ma hope o ka iwi nui ma waenakonu o kou umauma (iwi umauma). I kou wā ʻōpiopio, kōkua ka gland thymus i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā T-lymphocytes, a i ʻole nā ​​​​T-cells, kahi ʻano o ke koko keʻokeʻo he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ka ʻōnaehana pale o kou kino e hakakā nei i nā maʻi. Loaʻa i ka gland thymus ʻelua ʻano nui o nā cell: nā cell epithelial a me nā lymphocytes . Hiki i kekahi o kēia mau ʻano cell ke ulu ma ke ʻano ʻē a lilo i cancerous.

• Hoʻokumu ʻia ka Thymoma a me ka thymic carcinoma e ka ulu ʻana o nā pūnaewele epithelial ma ke ʻano ʻē.
• ʻO ka ulu ʻana o nā lymphocytes ma ke ʻano kūpono ʻole hiki ke alakaʻi i nā maʻi ʻaʻai e like me Hodgkin lymphoma a i ʻole non-Hodgkin lymphoma .

Ma muli o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā thymomas a me nā thymic carcinomas i nā pūnaewele epithelial o ka thymus gland, kapa pū nā kauka iā lākou he Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TETs) .

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka Thymoma a me ka Thymic Carcinoma?

ʻOiai ʻo nā mea ʻelua he mau tumors epithelial thymic (TETs), aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa koʻikoʻi.

• Thymoma: He maʻi kanesa lohi kēia. Kākaʻikahi ka laha ʻana ma ʻō aku o ke kelepaʻi thymus.
• ʻO ka maʻi kanesa Thymic: He maʻi kanesa ulu wikiwiki kēia. Loaʻa iā ia kahi manawa kiʻekiʻe o ka laha ʻana (metastasizing) i nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ke kino.

Ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka thymoma (kahi ʻano emi iki ka huhū) a i ʻole ka thymic carcinoma (kahi ʻano ʻoi aku ka huhū), e ʻokoʻa ka lāʻau a kāu kauka e kuhikuhi ai a me ka prognosis.

ʻO wai ka mea i hoʻopilikia nui ʻia e kēia mau kūlana?

ʻO ka Thymoma a me ka thymic carcinoma ka mea maʻamau i nā pākeke ma waena o 40 a me 75 mau makahiki. Ua hōʻike ʻia nā noiʻi ma nā ʻāina e like me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa he ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o ka maʻi i nā poʻe o ka lāhui ʻAsia a i ʻole ka Pākīpika. Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo e hiki ke ulu i loko o kekahi. Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ka Thymoma me nā kūlana i kapa ʻia ʻo autoimmune paraneoplastic syndromes . ʻO kēia ka manawa e hoʻouka hewa ai ka ʻōnaehana pale o kou kino i kāna mau cell olakino ponoʻī. Hiki i kēia ke hana i nā ʻano hōʻailona ʻoluʻolu ʻole. ʻO kekahi o nā syndromes e pili pinepine ʻia me ka thymoma:

• ʻO Myasthenia gravis: He ʻano autoimmune kēia e hoʻopilikia ai i nā aʻalolo a me nā ʻiʻo, e hoʻonāwaliwali ai i nā ʻiʻo .
• ʻO ka aplasia cell ʻulaʻula maʻemaʻe (PRCA): He maʻi koko kēia kahi i hana ʻole ai kou iwi iwi i nā cell koko ʻulaʻula lawa, e hoʻoulu ai i ka anemia .
