Learning Objectives:

We will discuss the following practice gaps regarding evaluation the risk of malignancy in adrenal mass & what to do if adrenal cancer.

Those gaps are listed below:
• Lack of experience with diagnosis of ACC on presentation. (differential diagnosis of adrenal mass)
• Lack of referral: Experienced endocrinologists / endocrine surgeons (initial evaluation)
• Inappropriate therapies: Prior to referral to endocrinologists / endocrine surgeons (initial treatment)
• Challenges of standards of care: surgery / mitotane/ chemotherapy - proper use (Standard of care)
• Lack of optimal second- and third-line systemic therapies. (Standard of care)

1. Understand differential diagnosis of adrenal mass and standards or care for work-up and clinical care
2. Discuss the role of genetics in the pathobiology of adrenal cancer and to discuss how such knowledge is transforming how we care for our patients.
