Some cases of adrenal cancer are linked to disorders that are passed through families. Each patient has a dedicated team of endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and others with experience treating people with adrenal gland tumors. NewYork-Presbyterian’s endocrine cancer team provides advanced care to patients with adrenal gland tumors. At NewYork-Presbyterian, our adrenal tumor specialists are highly experienced in accurately diagnosing benign adenomas and adrenal cancers, and matching patients with the most effective therapies. Malignant adrenal tumors, though rare, can spread throughout the body and remain one of the most deadly cancers. Most adrenal tumors are benign but can still have adverse effects on your quality of life if they are producing excess hormones. These glands can develop benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors. The adrenal glands - two triangular shaped glands on top of either kidney - produce hormones that control blood pressure, help regulate metabolism, and burn protein and fat, among other things.
