Why Winship for Your Adrenal Cancer

Adrenal cancer is rare, with about 600 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. It’s also difficult to manage, given the gland’s role in the endocrine system. So, when it comes to diagnosis and treatment, experience is everything. Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta treats more adrenal cancer than any other cancer center in Georgia. That means we have the expertise and experience to best treat your adrenal cancer.

The genitourinary cancer team at Winship is comprised of some of the top oncologists in the nation. We are experts in the diagnosis and care of adrenal cancer and understand that each case is unique. We analyze every case of adrenal cancer individually and offer the latest treatments, including investigational therapies through clinical trials. Because your cancer is unique, and your treatment plan should be, too.

Your individual treatment plan depends on an accurate and precise diagnosis. Our diagnostic experts specialize in diagnosing and staging genitourinary cancers and use the most advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic technology to evaluate your adrenal cancer down to the molecular level. We’ll also take the time to help you understand your diagnosis and answer all of your questions.

Adrenal cancer can be a tough diagnosis to face, but we’re here to help you through it.
