Default thymoma or thymus enlargement?

hi everyone.I am a recently (relatively new) diagnosed mg patient.
As part of the routine investigations I had a CT scan and an MRI and as expected, my thymus was found to be enlarged (no exact dimensions provided) but the transcervical approach seems to be possible.

However, I do not want to have a surgery unless the enlargement is of a cancerous nature, but it seems that there is no proper way to assess it. Would you be so kind to share with me if there are any known methods used to identifying a tymoma before surgery ,without biopsy if possible?
thank you
