An answer to the question if cyberknife can eliminate adrenal adenomas

[Guest guest]

Hello. I've checked with our radiation oncologists and our surgeons

about treating an adrenal adenoma. It seems to be a bit of a judgement

call.

The exact answer is:

Technically, we can treat adrenal lesions.

Usually for smaller adenomas, no treatment is needed.

If larger or is getting larger, surgical excision is indicated to rule

out malignancy.

Hope this is helpful.

I was surprised that they didn't know that adrenal adenomas are benign.
