Myasthenia gravis is a chronic condition that causes your muscles to weaken quickly. Get the facts on the disease and how treatment with medications or surgery may help.

FOR many years it has been recognized that myasthenia gravis is associated, in a high percentage of cases, with structural abnormalities of the thymus.1 Many patients, especially the younger ones, ...

The analysis represents an effort to use bioinformatics to find potential new therapeutic targets for myasthenia gravis (MG). A new genetic analysis of patients with thymoma-associated myasthenia ...

About 15% of all myasthenia gravis patients are found to have a thymoma, a tumor of the thymus. Although most thymomas are benign (not cancerous), the thymus is usually removed (thymectomy) to ...

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness. It affects body functions such as breathing and movement in the arms and legs.

Drs Nicholas Silvestri and Gil Wolfe get right to the point about when and why thymectomy may be considered as an evidence-based option for treatment of myasthenia gravis.
