Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Adrenal Tumors

• What diagnostic tests and procedures are most appropriate for me? Why?
• What evidence do you see that leads you to believe I have an adrenal tumor that is [benign or malignant]?
• What could happen if we just observe the tumor?
• What risks are involved in a treatment surgery?
• How many of these treatments/surgeries have you done?
• What will be involved in recovery? Will I have any lasting effects from the surgery?
