Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal Cancer: Diagnosis
If your healthcare provider thinks you might have adrenal cancer, you will need certain exams and tests to be sure. Diagnosing adrenal cancer starts with your healthcare provider asking you questions. He or she will ask you about your health history, your symptoms, risk factors, and family history of disease.
