Symptoms of Adrenal Cancer

Symptoms

Most adrenocortical cancers are found after they have been growing for years. Fewer than 30% of adrenocortical cancers are confined to the adrenal gland at the time of diagnosis.

The most common symptom reported by patients with adrenocortical cancer is pain in the back or side (called the flank).
