What to review for adrenocortical cancer

The review items of adrenocortical carcinoma include blood routine, renal CT, renal function, endocrine function and so on. Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor occurring in adrenal cortex, which causes patients to suffer from renal pain and other symptoms, and also stimulates adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion, resulting in Cushing’s syndrome and other clinical syndromes. The main treatment for this disease is surgical resection, and after the treatment, firstly, the blood routine needs to be rechecked, to clarify whether the patient has postoperative anemia and other conditions. Secondly, patients need to observe whether the wound of the kidney, especially the adrenal cortex, is healed and whether tumor recurrence occurs through renal CT. Surgical treatment may cause damage to kidney function, so patients also need to review kidney function after surgery to clarify whether there is a decline in kidney function. Meanwhile, as the disease belongs to endocrine malignant tumor, patients also need to recheck endocrine function after surgery, especially adrenocortical function, to clarify whether there is hypoadrenocorticism. The purpose of reviewing adrenocortical cancer is to prevent recurrence of the patient’s condition and to clarify whether the various functions of the patient’s body are normal. If the review examination finds that there are abnormalities such as decline in renal function as mentioned above, patients should cooperate with doctors for treatment in time.
