Knowing your treatment options for adrenal cancer is essential for peace of mind and the best outcomes. This resource is tailored for Porter Ranch seniors—clear, supportive, and practical.
Understanding Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal cancer forms in glands above the kidneys. Symptoms may include blood pressure changes, fatigue, or weight loss. It’s sometimes found incidentally during routine scans. Early action gives you more choices for treatment and recovery.
Main Treatment Options for Porter Ranch Seniors
- Surgery: The best option for many. Surgeons remove the tumor or entire gland using minimally invasive methods whenever possible.
- Medications: Mitotane, chemotherapy, and hormone blockers are used if surgery isn’t possible or if the cancer has spread.
- Radiation Therapy: Used for pain control or to treat tumors that cannot be removed surgically.
- Targeted and Immunotherapies: Ask your doctor about local clinical trials for new treatments.
