How is adrenocortical carcinoma diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will start with a physical exam and ask about any symptoms you’re experiencing. If your symptoms point to adrenal cancer, you may have:
- Imaging tests, such as MRI, CT scan or PET scan to look for tumors.
- Blood and urine tests to check hormone levels.
- A dexamethasone suppression test to measure cortisol levels.
- Biopsy to determine if a tumor is cancerous.
