About Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal cancer is rare but serious. It affects glands above the kidneys and can lead to symptoms such as high blood pressure, fatigue, or weight changes. Sometimes, there are no symptoms at all until a routine checkup reveals a problem.
Main Treatment Options for Valley Village Seniors
- Surgery: The preferred treatment for most early-stage cases. Minimally invasive surgery often means less pain and a quicker recovery.
- Medications: Chemotherapy, mitotane, and hormone therapies can help if cancer has spread or surgery isn’t possible.
- Radiation Therapy: Used for pain management, shrinking tumors, or treating inoperable cancers.
- Targeted and Immunotherapies: Clinical trials or the latest treatments may be available in Valley Village and nearby centers.
- Supportive Care: Counseling, nutrition, and pain management ensure seniors feel supported throughout their treatment.
