Removal of adrenal cancer

Please note!

Hospitalization and surgery at the «Oxford Medical» Clinic require mandatory PCR testing for coronavirus.

Tumors of the adrenal glands and retroperitoneal space are considered to be a dangerous pathology, the treatment of which mainly requires surgical intervention.

The reasons for the formation of tumors of this localization can be:

• genetic disposition;
• unhealthy diet, consumption of low-quality products containing carcinogenic substances;
• abuse of alcoholic beverages;
• degeneration of benign formations;
• chronic infections;
• radiation exposure;
• weakened immune system;
• metastases (when cancer of other localization takes place).

Surgical interventions for the removal of tumors of the adrenal glands or retroperitoneal space are performed by open or laparoscopic method. Laparoscopic surgery in most cases is considered the best method of removal, because instead of one long incision, several punctures are made (one of them can be expanded with the purpose to extract a large tumor at the end of the operation).

The patient can spend a rehabilitation period after surgery in a comfortable surgical hospital.

In the late stages of cancer cytoreductive operations are performed, the purpose of which is to remove the maximum possible volume of the tumor mass. Such surgical interventions, combined with chemotherapy, make it possible to affect the remaining cancer cells more effectively. Cytoreductive operations, as a rule, provide an opportunity to improve the quality of life and contribute to an increase in its duration.
