    200 per year.
    • Average age of affected is 46 years.

    a) Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2)
    b) Li-Fraumeni syndrome
    c) Von Hippel Lindau syndrome
    d) Neurofibromatosis
    e) Succinate dehydrogenase mutations
    Family history
    PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
    Due to risk factors

    Expression of h19 gene is reduced

    Gene mutations occurs

    Unhealthy uncontrolled growth of adrenal cells occur

    Develops into functioning/ non functioning tumors and signs and symptoms
    occurs.
    SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
    STAGES OF ADRENAL CANCER

    • TNM staging system is used.


    T- Tumor(how large)?
    N- Nodal involvement?
    M- Has the cancer spread to other body parts?
    TUMOR
    T x – Primary tumor cannot be evaluated
    T0- No primary tumor
    T1- < 5 cm
    T2 - > 5cm
    T3 – any size, grown into area around adrenal gland
    T4 – has grown into nearby organs
    NODE
    N x – Regional lymph nodes cannot be evaluated
    N0 – Cancer has not spread into lymph nodes
    N1 – cancer has spread into lymph nodes
    METASTASIS
    M0 – Cancer has not spread to other parts of body
    M1 – Cancer has spread to other parts of body
    COMPLICATIONS
    Side effects of chemotherapy which includes hair loss, risk for
    infection, fatigue, vomiting.
    Radiation causes fatigue, nausea, skin reactions.
