ADRENAL CANCER
What is a adrenal cancer ?
Adrenal cancer is a malignant tumor of the
conditions contained in the adrenal glands , which are divided into sub -
adrenal cortical adenoma , adrenal cortical cancer and tumors of the adrenal
medulla . The adrenal gland is an endocrine organ that is very important , its
position is very close to the kidneys . Although the adrenal gland itself is
very small , but highly variable tumor growth , tumor diameter generally less
than 3 cm were categorized as small tumors , the smallest ranges of less than 1
cm , up to 10 ~ 30 mm . Shape of the tumor , such as beans , peaches and plums
, apples , melons , and similar bentul pillow . Adrenal cancer cases has
increased from year to year , at the time of entering the late stage adrenal
cancer , it will tend to be more difficult to treat .
Type of adrenal cancer
Adrenal cancer is a cancer usually
unilateral , due to have a thin membrane , so the impact on surrounding tissue
suppression . Generally rare adrenal cancer , normal adrenal tissue is damaged
, and it usually leads to damage to the surrounding tissue , or even a pair of
sides of kidney . In a small adenocarcinoma membranes are frequently
metastasize to lymph nodes or hematogenous metastasis to the lungs aorta ,
liver , etc. . Tumors of the adrenal medulla , adrenal medulla is derived from
neural center . Origin of cells derived from primary sensory neurons . which
then differentiate into ganglion cells and chromaffin cells that can form
neuroblastoma , ganglioneuroma and pheochromocytoma .
The cause of adrenal cancer
At present , the factors that cause the
right adrenal cancer is still not very clear , but other factors are also
reevan among others as follows :
1 . Tuberculosis in adrenal tissue : after
tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the adrenal well controlled , then the chronic
adrenal dysfunction caused by disease will be reduced .
2 . Autoimmune disorders : Autoimmune
diseases are caused by a sudden atrophy of the adrenal cortex is considered the
most common cause of cancer .
3 . Malignant tumors in other parts of the
body which metastasize to the adrenal gland : adrenal cancer percentages of 26%
-50 % , gastrointestinal cancer , lung cancer , breast cancer , thyroid cancer
, melanoma , etc. .
Symptoms of adrenal cancer
Changes in endocrine function can be caused
by tumors or adrenal cortex . Such changes can randomize or bahjan metabolic
system into a new tumor that , if not randomize the metabolic system can
dikaterogikan as a non - tumor abnormalities .
Aldosterone is mainly caused by cortical
adenoma . The first category include high blood pressure . The second category
include muscle weakness or paralysis , paresthesia . The third category is the
symptoms of polyuria , nocturia , and drink more water .
Cortisol is a disease caused by adrenal
hyperplasia or tumor symptoms include a very round shaped face ( moon face ) ,
the upper body is to be heavy ( buffalo hump ) , central obesity , arms and
legs remain thin , fatigue , weakness , muscle pains , back pain , hypertension
, hirsutism , hair loss , acne , sexual dysfunction , not menstruation (
amenorrhea ) or periods of diminishing returns .
Gonadal disorders caused by adrenocortical
tumors , divided into enlarged genitals even before his time , in women and
also women occurred pseudohermaphroditism becoming more masculine .
Pheochromocytoma cell changes its main
symptoms include high blood pressure ( hypertension ) and metabolic disarray.
At the time of recurrence of paroxysmal will be accompanied by frequent sudden
heart palpitations , shortness of breath , headache , sweating , nervousness ,
cold feet and trembling hands .
How to diagnose adrenal cancer
1 . Examination of blood and urine , can be
seen the difference between functional and nonfunctional adenomas
2 . CT scans : a step rely more details for
diagnosis of diseases of the adrenal disease
3 . MRI examination : examination of
adrenal pheochromocytoma cells proper and meaningful
4 . Ultrasound : Ultrasound examination is
the first examination of choice for adrenal disease
Adrenal cancer treatment
1 . Patients should have an optimistic
thinking , and build confidence to overcome the disease .
2 . Patients should pay attention to the
pattern of rest : Avoid strenuous physical activity and injury to the stomach ,
while avoiding the use of the enlarged kidney belts to avoid rupture of the
cyst . As the family of the patient has a higher risk of cancer it is
recommended that the family of the patient is also doing an ultrasound
examination every six months .
3 . Patient's diet : Avoid foods such as
pickled salted eggs , salted fish ( including pickles ) , spicy and stimulating
foods ( including pepper , wine , crab , shrimp , etc. ) , contaminated food (
rotten food . Leftover food , etc. ) , baked goods , and for patients with
uremia or problematic kidneys also have to pay attention to the intake of
legumes and soy products as well as restrictions limiting animal protein foods
, greasy foods , and so on .
4 . The patient must prevent and treat
active infections .
5 . To avoid damage to the kidneys ,
prevention is almost the same as the prevention of hypertension .
Above , among others, an adrenal tumor
treatment , be sure to perform daily maintenance simple , fast , to help the
treatment of adrenal tumors .
Treatment of adrenal cancer
1 . Surgery : more confined to pathological
changes in the adrenal tumors , and for larger tumors and recurrence and
metastasis in cancer patients , most of them can not be fully lifted the net .
2 . Minimally invasive treatment : if the
tumor can not be surgically lifted clean especially with metastasis or
recurrence kembalimaka minimally invasive, can be a good choice .
a. Cryosurgery or freezing method with
argon - helium gas : This method can be done under the guidance of ultrasound
or CT scan that can directly kill cancer cells without damaging normal tissue ,
is a very safe treatment
b . radio frequency treatment : through
needle electrodes are directed into the tumor and surrounding tissue , and then
flowed high frequency so that core needle electrodes generate vibration and
friction ion high speed , with high temperatures that cause coagulation
necrosis of tissue proteins thereby help disable cells cancer ;
c . planting seed particles radio : 125I
radioactive seed implantation in the tumor area may contribute to tumor cell
kill with local radiation therapy .
