Pardee Seniors: All Your Options for Adrenal Cancer Treatment
Pardee’s unique neighborhood spirit and dedicated senior programs mean you never have to face adrenal cancer alone. This guide explains all treatment options for adrenal cancer available for Pardee residents, with clear explanations and resources for local support.
What Is Adrenal Cancer?
Adrenal cancer forms in the glands above your kidneys, often disrupting hormone balance and causing subtle symptoms like blood pressure changes, weight shifts, or tiredness. Sometimes, cancer is found during other routine health checks.
Main Treatment Options for Pardee Seniors
- Surgery: Removing the tumor or gland is usually the first line of treatment, with minimally invasive options preferred for seniors when possible.
- Medications: Mitotane, chemotherapy, or hormone therapies can help if surgery isn’t possible or if cancer is advanced.
- Radiation Therapy: Helps manage pain, shrink tumors, or treat inoperable cancer.
- Targeted & Immunotherapy: Innovative therapies are sometimes available through local research trials or specialty clinics.
- Supportive Care: Nutrition, counseling, and pain management are vital for every Pardee senior’s well-being during treatment.
