Adrenal cancer can occur at any time in a person’s life. It is extremely rare -- about one in a million people face the disease. But with an average five-year survival rate of just 51%, it presents a grave threat to patients. The need to advance new therapies, discovery research, and medical and science education is great.
Up to 10-15 percent of adrenal cancers arise in patients with a hereditary predisposition to develop cancer. The University of Michigan Endocrine Oncology team has been on the forefront of identifying these inherited conditions. It is standard in the Multidisciplinary Endocrine Oncology Clinic to offer genetic counseling and a complete genetic evaluation to adrenal cancer patients.
