  • 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.

  • Adrenal Glands Tumor (Benign)

    Pheochromocytoma: An Adrenal Gland Tumor

    A pheochromocytoma is a rare type of tumor. It grows in the middle of an adrenal gland. A pheochromocytoma causes the adrenal glands to make too much of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones help keep your heart rate and blood pressure normal.

  • Thyroid Tumor (Malignant)

    Thyroid Cancer: Stages

    The stage of a cancer is how much and how far the cancer has spread in your body. Your healthcare provider uses exams and tests to find out the size of the cancer, where it is, and whether it has spread. The stage of a cancer is one of the most important things to know when deciding how to treat the cancer.
