Endocrine Tumor
Eight glands make up the endocrine system, and the hormones they produce circulate throughout your body via the bloodstream. These hormones influence your body's functioning, including metabolism and growth, reproduction, and mood. Cells can develop into a tumor that is either benign (noncancerous) or cancerous when they alter and expand out of control. Most endocrine tumors develop slowly over years and are not malignant. The thyroid, parathyroid, pancreatic, and adrenal glands are all affected by conditions experienced endocrine specialists can identify and treat. At many cancer centers, experts combine programs and knowledge from every medical and surgical care branch to provide you with specialized, cutting-edge care.
