Default Thymectomy age

The medical field used to use 60 years old as the absolute cut off age for considering thymectomies. Now, many surgeons take other things into consideration before they deny surgery - size of the thymus, severity of symptoms, age at onset of symptoms. For those that are looking into it, it might be worth meeting with several doctors for several medical opinions.
