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

This study looks at the risk of cancer in adrenal tumors that produce hormones. If you are having planned surgery to remove an adrenal gland, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how your metabolism (things like blood sugar and cholesterol) might be linked to tumor genes and growth in people with breast cancer. The goal is to find new ways to treat the disease based on your metabolic profile. You may be eligible if you have locally advanced breast cancer (Stage II–III) and are willing to share your medical records.
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.
