- indications for adrenalectomy
- Although several studies have found an increased survival in patients who undergo resection of solitary adrenal metastases the indications for adrenalectomy in cases of metastatic adrenal tumor remain controversial. (bioportfolio.com)
- retroperitoneal adrenalectomy
- One is called PRA(posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy), which is performed through 3 or 4 holes at patient's back. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- Among those, PRA(posterior retroperitoneal adrenalectomy) has showed good outcomes in many institutes. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- cortisol
- In the current study, Dr. Auchus' research group analyzed the records of 24 patients who underwent adrenalectomy at UT Southwestern between 2003 and 2006 because of abnormally high cortisol production. (medindia.net)
- After a bilateral adrenalectomy is performed cortisol levels are no longer normal. (wikipedia.org)
- It is not clear whether the adrenalectomy or reduced cortisol secretion causes aggressive tumor growth. (wikipedia.org)
- bilateral
- Unilateral adrenalectomy was performed in all but 1 patient who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. (sages.org)
- Adrenalectomy (sometimes written as ADX for the procedure or resulting state) is the surgical removal of one or both (bilateral adrenalectomy) adrenal glands. (wikipedia.org)
- The advancements mentioned prior are what have allowed physicians to pursue other routes for Cushing's disease therapy that don't involve bilateral adrenalectomy. (wikipedia.org)
- Earlier, Nelson's syndrome was observed in 20-40% of patients who had a bilateral adrenalectomy with a pituitary adenoma. (wikipedia.org)
- Nelson's syndrome is observed in 8-44% of the population who have undergone bilateral adrenalectomy treatment for Cushing's disease. (wikipedia.org)
- The common symptoms include: hyper-pigmentation of the skin visual disturbances headaches abnormal high levels of beta-MSH and ACTH abnormal enlargements of the pituitary gland, interruption of menstrual cycles in women Common causes include bilateral adrenalectomy for the treatment of Cushing's disease, and hypopituitarism. (wikipedia.org)
- The onset of the disease can occur up to 24 years after a bilateral adrenalectomy has been performed, with an average of up to 15 years after. (wikipedia.org)
- A preventative measure that can be utilized is prophylactic radiotherapy when a bilateral adrenalectomy is being performed in order to prevent Nelson's syndrome from manifesting. (wikipedia.org)
- Overall, not all patients that have had a total bilateral adrenalectomy develop Nelson's syndrome, which makes the mechanism harder to understand for such a rare disease. (wikipedia.org)
- underwent

- Procedure
- Inclusion criteria included all adult patients undergoing adrenalectomy as their sole surgical procedure. (sages.org)
- adrenal tumors
- Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients with a mild form of Cushing syndrome, a metabolic disorder caused by adrenal tumors, demonstrate substantial clinical improvement after adrenalectomy. (medindia.net)

- Adrenalectomy is usually advised for patients with tumors of the adrenal glands. (encyclopedia.com)
- metastatic
- We randomized 96 postmenopausal women with metastatic breast carcinoma to receive surgical adrenalectomy or medical therapy with an adrenal inhibitor, aminoglutethimide (AG), plus replacement hydrocortisone. (nih.gov)

- Of 40 evaluable women treated with AG and hydrocortisone, 53 per cent had objective responses, as compared with 45 per cent of 29 women undergoing surgical adrenalectomy (P value not significant). (nih.gov)
- A null hypothesis tested the single question asked by this study: "Is surgical adrenalectomy superior to treatment with AG and hydrocortisone? (nih.gov)
- Rejection at significance levels of P = 0.01 and P = 0.07 for differences of 20 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, suggested that medical therapy with AG and hydrocortisone may be logically chosen in place of surgical adrenalectomy. (nih.gov)
- patients
- Diabetes and hypertension improved considerably in most affected patients after adrenalectomy. (medindia.net)
- We cannot promise everybody the same results," Dr. Auchus said, "but we found that adrenalectomy can dramatically help some patients. (medindia.net)
