In Burbank, where seniors enjoy an active lifestyle, staying informed about health screenings is key. The adrenal glands are small but powerful, producing hormones that regulate stress, metabolism, and blood pressure. When cancer affects these glands, blood tests are often the first step in detection.
Adrenal cancer can cause the glands to produce too much or too little hormone. Blood tests measure these hormone levels, helping doctors spot irregularities that may indicate cancer. Early detection through blood tests can lead to faster, more effective treatment and a better quality of life.
The process is simple and safe. A nurse or technician will draw blood from your arm, usually in a comfortable, seated position. Most seniors find the experience quick and manageable.
Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean for your health. If hormone levels are abnormal, you may need further tests, such as imaging scans or additional blood work. Early detection gives you more options and a better chance at successful treatment.
Don’t hesitate to mention any of these symptoms during your next checkup.
Burbank offers a range of resources for seniors, including transportation to medical appointments and support groups. The All Seniors Foundation can help you navigate the process and provide emotional support.
