Adrenal Cancer
Evaluation and surgical management of tumors of the adrenal glands, including minimally invasive adrenalectomy.
Adrenal cancer care
The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and produce hormones that regulate blood pressure, metabolism, and the body's response to stress. Adrenal tumors are often discovered incidentally on imaging; a smaller number are cancerous or hormonally active and need to be removed.
How Dr. Uhr can help
- Review of imaging and hormone testing to determine whether a tumor needs surgery
- Adrenalectomy (removal of the adrenal gland), using minimally invasive techniques when appropriate
- Coordination with endocrinology and medical oncology through Jefferson Health
