Adrenal Gland Tumors

For adrenal tumors, the decision isn't made by one doctor alone — our endocrinology, urology and oncology board weighs in together. We listen with that whole-picture care.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Treatment Guided by Board Decision

For every tumor from incidentaloma to pheochromocytoma and adrenocortical carcinoma, strategy is set by a multidisciplinary oncology board including endocrinology.

Hormonal / Endocrine Evaluation

Measuring cortisol, aldosterone and catecholamines/metanephrines defines the tumor's functional status, guiding both diagnosis and pre-surgical preparation.

Da Vinci Robotic / Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Adrenalectomy

The adrenal gland suits minimally invasive surgery; Da Vinci robotic or laparoscopic adrenalectomy is performed with a small incision and minimal bleeding.

Specialized Perioperative Management in Pheochromocytoma

In pheochromocytoma, pre-operative alpha-blockade prepares patients so that blood-pressure and heart-rhythm fluctuations stay controlled.

TrueBeam LINAC SBRT / Radiotherapy

In unresectable or metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma and adrenal metastases, targeted SBRT is delivered with the TrueBeam LINAC.

Internationally Recognized Team & International Patient Support

A high-volume urologic and endocrine oncology team supports international patients with visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter services.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Weight gain, easy bruising, high blood sugar and Cushing features (cortisol excess)
Resistant high blood pressure and low potassium (aldosterone excess)
A mass sensation or pain in the flank/abdomen in large tumors
Family/genetic syndromes: MEN, von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), neurofibromatosis and SDH gene changes
