Adrenal Gland Cancer

Adrenal gland cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. These glands produce hormones that help regulate various body functions. In the context of genitourinary oncology, which focuses on cancers of the urinary system and male reproductive organs, adrenal cancer can affect hormone levels, potentially leading to symptoms like weight gain, high blood pressure, or changes in body hair. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, depending on the cancer's stage and characteristics. Early detection is important for better outcomes.
