Understanding metabolic risks from adrenal tumors using CT scans
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at CT scans of people with adrenal tumors to understand how the tumor might affect your metabolism. It may help doctors learn more about the condition and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have an adrenal tumor that was either removed by surgery or confirmed as benign by a follow-up CT scan 6 to 12 months later
- You have a CT scan done before surgery (if surgery was done) showing the tumor
- You are able to sign a consent form to allow your images to be used in the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how to use lab tests (“molecular markers”) in routine clinical care to help manage people with adrenal tumors that could be cancerous. If you are having surgery soon (or recently), your tissue may be tested to see if these markers improve decision-making for your care.
This study tests a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to help doctors identify adrenal tumors that produce too much of two hormones: aldosterone and cortisol. If you have both hormone imbalances confirmed by blood tests and are planning surgery to remove your adrenal gland, this scan may help your doctors see exactly where the tumor is.
This study looks at adrenal tumors found on imaging (scans) to better understand what causes them and how they might be treated. If you have an adrenal tumor on a scan, this trial may be looking to enroll you for that purpose.
This study follows adults with a new adrenal diagnosis to learn how adrenal diseases behave over time. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This trial studies how adrenal hormone tumor diseases should be diagnosed, treated, and followed over time. It may help people get more precise care and better prediction of outcomes, but it has specific health and medication requirements.
This study looks at how an accidentally found adrenal growth may affect heart and metabolic health, especially if it causes extra cortisol production. It may help explain which people are at higher risk and what monitoring or treatment could be useful.
