Kazakhstan oncologists have named the key symptoms of a rare but extremely aggressive adrenal gland tumor. This tumor affects metabolism and hormonal balance but develops unnoticed for a long time. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Doctors at the Kazakhstan Cancer Center noted that in the early stages, the disease often occurs without obvious symptoms and may be an incidental finding during examination. "In the early stages, the disease often occurs without obvious symptoms and may be an incidental finding during examination," doctors explain.
Oncologists note that in the initial stages, the tumor may not show clear signs and will progress unnoticed without diagnosis. However, late diagnosis is associated with lower chances of successful treatment due to metastasis. "Modern diagnostic methods — CT, PET/CT, assessment of hormonal activity, and specialized tests — help detect the disease faster and more accurately," doctors note.
To help Kazakhstanis detect the disease at an early stage, oncologists named symptoms to pay attention to. If one or more symptoms appear, oncologists advise undergoing a medical examination without delay. "Early diagnosis can significantly change the prognosis, improve treatment effectiveness and quality of life," doctors believe.
