Thoracic is a medical word that means 'of the chest' — it describes anything to do with the thorax, the part of your body between your neck and your stomach, where your heart and lungs are. You will mostly meet this word in hospitals, biology class, or health articles, not in daily conversation — doctors talk about the 'thoracic cavity' or 'thoracic surgery.'
