What is Adrenal Cancer?
Adrenal cancer refers to a rare malignant tumor that begins in one or both adrenal glands and accounts for only 0.2% of cancer deaths. It is characterized by rapid growth and unclear borders. Adrenal cancer, also known as adrenocortical cancer, may appear at any age. It is mainly classified into adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenocortical adenoma and adrenal medullary tumor. According to statistics, the global annual incidence rate is 0.5-2 per million population.
So can middle and late-staged adrenal cancer be cured? Minimally invasive techniques with little side effects and trauma can help adrenal cancer patients avoid surgical resection as well as suffering from traditional radiotherapy, effectively prolonging the survival period.
