Heart health after adrenal tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at heart-related complications after surgery to remove an adrenal tumor. It compares people with a rare type of tumor called pheochromocytoma and those with non-harmful adrenal tumors, to see how their heart health changes after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove an adrenal gland tumor.
- Your tumor is either a pheochromocytoma or a non-cancerous type.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your tumor is not adrenocortical cancer, Cushing's disease, primary aldosteronism, or a cancer that spread from elsewhere.

This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
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 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.
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 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 looks at how different types of adrenal tumors might affect the heart during and after surgery. It aims to help doctors understand and reduce the risk of heart injury in patients having these tumors removed.
