Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal cancer, although rare, involves tumors that develop in the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions. Surgical intervention is often the most effective treatment for adrenal cancer, especially when detected early.
When is Adrenal Cancer Surgery Needed?
Surgery may be recommended for:
- Adrenal Tumors: Removal of malignant tumors from the adrenal glands.
- Hormone-Secreting Tumors: Tumors that produce excess hormones, leading to various health issues.
- Staging and Diagnosis: Surgical exploration may be necessary to determine the extent of cancer spread.
Types of Adrenal Cancer Surgeries
- Adrenalectomy:
- Surgical removal of one or both adrenal glands.
- Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy: A minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and specialized instruments for quicker recovery.
- Open Adrenalectomy: A traditional approach for larger tumors or complex cases.
- Lymph Node Dissection:
- Removal of nearby lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells, often performed during adrenalectomy.
- Tumor Ablation:
- Minimally invasive techniques like radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation to destroy tumors without major surgery.
Symptoms Indicating a Need for Surgery
- Abdominal pain or discomfort.
- Unexplained weight gain or loss.
- Symptoms of hormone imbalances, such as increased blood pressure or changes in hair distribution.
- A noticeable mass or lump in the abdomen.
