Endocrine Neoplasms

Endocrine neoplasms are tumors that develop in the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various body functions. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can affect glands such as the thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, and pituitary. Symptoms may vary based on the hormone imbalance caused by the tumor. Diagnosis usually involves imaging tests and hormone level assessments. Treatment options typically include surgery, radiation, and medication, depending on the type and stage of the neoplasm. Early detection and management are crucial for better health outcomes.
