Oncological endocrinology

Oncological endocrinology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on cancers involving the body's hormone-producing glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and gonads. These cancers can disrupt normal hormone levels and functions, leading to symptoms like unusual growths, hormonal imbalances, or other health issues. The field combines knowledge of both cancer biology and endocrinology to diagnose, treat, and manage these tumors, often using surgery, radiation, or targeted therapies. Its goal is to effectively control or eliminate the cancer while restoring hormonal balance and overall health.
