Thoracic Surgery
Thymic tumors are rare, and the most common type is thymoma, which grows slowly but is malignant in nature. Their prognosis depends on the degree of invasion and the possibility of complete resection. The scarcity of cases means that clinical experience is limited and scattered, and the available literature is mainly based on retrospective series and single-center data, making it difficult to compare results due to a lack of unified classifications.
At the national level, the Thoracic Surgery Service and the Neuromuscular Pathology Unit, led by Dr. Isabel Illa, have been a reference in the treatment of these tumors and the associated paraneoplastic syndromes, creating the country’s first multidisciplinary thymic tumor committee. As a result of this experience, the Update Course on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Thymic Tumors has been organized, with its 4th edition taking place on October 16 and 17, aimed at all professionals involved in their multidisciplinary care.

L’actriu i la presidenta de la Fundació Pasqual Maragall estaran acompanyades pel Dr. Alberto Lleó, director del Servei de Neurologia de Sant Pau.
L’acte, obert al públic, se celebrarà el dimarts 12 de desembre a la sala Pau Gil del Recinte Modernista a les 18.00h. L’actriu Carme Elias, pacient de Sant Pau, va anunciar públicament que patia Alzheimer fa un any i mig. Des d’aleshores s’ha convertit en una activista per donar visibilitat a aquesta malaltia que afecta una de cada deu persones de més de 65 anys. Cristina Maragall, filla de l’expresident de la Generalitat Pasqual Maragall, afectat d’Alzheimer des de fa 15 anys, aportarà el seu testimoni com a familiar.
Totes dues conversaran amb el Dr. Alberto Lleó en un debat moderat per la periodista Cristina Puig. Durant l’acte es projectarà un vídeo per explicar la tasca de la Unitat de Memòria de l’Hospital de Sant Pau i fragments del documental ‘Mientras seas tu’ de la cineasta Claudia Pinto, que ha esta fent un seguiment de l’actriu des que li van diagnosticar la malaltia.
