Adrenal tumors are often detected by chance — but sometimes the body sends signals that are worth paying attention to. If you experience these symptoms and manifestations for a long time, it is advisable to seek a specialist examination:

  • Comprehensive diagnostics adrenal tumors including hormonal activity, genetic burden and malignancy
  • Modern imaging methods (native and contrast CT, MR, FDG-PET/CT, MIBG, etc.)
  • Access to a cross-disciplinary teamendocrinology, oncology, surgery, radiology, nuclear medicine, genetics, biochemistry and pathology,
  • Evaluation of findings and recommendations for further action — in the form of a conference or online consultation
  • Child and adult part of care — cooperation with FN Motol and FN Olomouc
  • Possibility of urgent consultations for problematic findings
  • Follow-up operative, oncological and radiation therapy, including direct transfer to the care of the workplace

Overview of adrenal cancer for doctors

Adrenal tumor diseases encompass a wide range of conditions -- from frequent non-functional adenomas to rare hormone-active or malignant tumors. This section provides practical information to help quickly understand their diagnosis, clinical manifestations and treatment options. The texts are based on the latest recommendations and clinical experience of the team of Prof. Karel Pacák.

Incidentalomas of the adrenal glands
for doctors

Accidentally found adrenal locus (>1 cm), requiring assessment of function, risk of malignancy and need for surgical solution.

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas
for doctors

Tumors producing catecholamines, often genetically determined. They can cause hypertension, palpitations and sweating.

Adrenal carcinoma (ACC)
for doctors

A rare, aggressive tumor of the adrenal cortex. It can produce hormones and metastasize quickly. Requires rapid diagnosis and specialized treatment.

Cushing's syndrome
for doctors

Adrenal tumors are rare, often hormonally active and genetically determined. They require specialized care and interdisciplinary cooperation.

Rare childhood tumors
for doctors

Rare, often hormone-active tumors requiring interdisciplinary collaboration, genetic testing and specialized treatment in an experienced center.

Very rare adrenal tumors
for doctors

A common finding in oncological patients, often asymptomatic. With bilateral involvement, there is a risk of severe adrenal insufficiency.

Metastases to the adrenal glands
for doctors

Metastatic involvement of the adrenal glands in oncological patients, often bilateral.
