Study on Cancer Risk and Surgical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Adrenalectomy for Hormone-Secreting and Non-Secreting Adrenal Tumors

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the risk of cancer in patients with hormone-secreting adrenal lesions. The study also compares cancer rates between secreting and non-secreting adrenal lesions to see if hormone activity is an independent predictor of malignancy. Additionally, it examines the safety and outcomes of different minimally invasive surgical techniques for adrenalectomy in these patients. The study follows ethical guidelines and involves multiple centers. The study includes patients aged 18 and older who are undergoing elective adrenalectomy. It collects detailed information on patient history, lesion characteristics, surgical methods, and postoperative outcomes using a secure data platform. Patients are grouped by whether their adrenal lesions secrete hormones and by the type of surgical approach used, including various minimally invasive methods like laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Outcomes measured include intraoperative complications and 30-day postoperative results. Participants will have demographic data, preoperative evaluations, surgical details, and postoperative recovery recorded and analyzed. Researchers will assess cancer incidence based on histological examination and compare surgical approaches on safety and effectiveness. The studys primary outcome is cancer risk in secreting adrenal lesions, with follow-up during and after surgery. Participation involves data collection without experimental treatment, and the total study period includes both retrospective and prospective enrollment until late 2024.
