Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is endocrine cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis may include blood tests, imaging (such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI), and biopsy of a nodule or mass.
-
Do all endocrine tumors need surgery?
Not all tumors require surgery. Some small or non-cancerous tumors may be monitored, while others need surgical removal based on type, size, and hormone activity.
-
What is the most common surgery for thyroid cancer?
The most common procedure is a thyroidectomy, which removes part or all of the thyroid gland. Lymph nodes may also be removed if cancer has spread.
-
What happens if my adrenal tumor is cancerous?
If an adrenal tumor is cancerous or hormone-producing, surgical removal (adrenalectomy) is often recommended, sometimes along with additional treatments depending on the case.
-
Are endocrine tumors usually cancerous?
Many endocrine tumors are benign, but some can be cancerous or have the potential to become cancerous, which is why evaluation is important.
-
Will I need hormone replacement after surgery?
Some patients may need hormone replacement depending on which gland is removed, such as thyroid hormone after thyroid surgery.
