In certain types of cancer, nerves and cancer cells enter an often lethal and intricate waltz where cancer cells and nerves move toward one another and eventually engage in such a way that the cancer cells enter the nerves.
Most adrenal cancers have grown for a long time before they are diagnosed. They are often found after the patient seeks treatment for the symptoms caused by the cancer. However, some tumors are found when a physician orders imaging testing for another condition.
Patients with symptoms suspicious for adrenal cancer will undergo tests to determine the cause of these symptoms. The first step is a thorough medical history and physical exam to determine the extent of symptoms and their possible causes.

A new study finds that many women diagnosed with breast cancer are concerned about the genetic risk of developing other cancers themselves or of a loved one developing cancer.
Patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia have limited treatment options, and those that exist are effective only in fewer than half of patients. Now, a new study identifies a panel of genetic markers that predicted which tumor samples would likely respond to treatment.
