Imaging tests (CT, MRI), blood tests and biopsy are used for diagnosis. Treatment options may include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The treatment plan is determined depending on the stage and size of the tumor and the general health condition of the patient.

Lifestyle Changes and Support

• Healthy Nutrition:
  • A balanced diet can strengthen the body and play an important role in the treatment process.
• Regular Exercise:
  • Physical activity can support overall health and increase patient endurance.
• Psychological Support:
  • Individuals diagnosed with adrenal cancer and their families can cope with this process by getting psychological support.

Current Research and Awareness Raising

Current research and clinical studies on adrenal cancer provide information about new treatment methods and medications. Awareness-raising activities play an important role in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Conclusion

Adrenal cancer is a manageable condition with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Healthy lifestyle choices, regular medical check-ups and support can help patients through this process. Let’s not forget that knowledge and awareness are one of the most powerful tools in the fight against adrenal cancer.
