Understanding Adrenal Cancer
This rare cancer affects glands above the kidneys, which regulate important hormones. Symptoms can include blood pressure changes, weight shifts, or fatigue—but some cases are discovered during unrelated medical visits.

- Medications: Mitotane, chemotherapy, and hormone therapies help manage advanced cases or when surgery isn’t an option.
- Radiation Therapy: Painless treatments can shrink tumors, manage pain, or treat inoperable cancers.
