About Adrenal Cancer
This rare cancer starts in glands above your kidneys, impacting hormone balance and sometimes causing subtle symptoms. Westridge seniors may notice changes in blood pressure, fatigue, or unexplained weight changes—or discover cancer during unrelated scans.
Main Treatment Options for Westridge Seniors
- Surgery: Often the first and best choice for early-stage cancer. Minimally invasive options help with recovery and reduce pain for older adults.
- Medications: Mitotane, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy may help control cancer or manage symptoms if surgery isn’t possible.
- Radiation Therapy: Used to shrink tumors, relieve pain, or treat advanced cancers.
- Targeted & Immunotherapy: Ask your provider about clinical trials for new treatment options available nearby.
- Supportive Care: Nutrition counseling, pain management, and senior support groups for every Westridge resident in treatment.
