Clinical Trial: Specificity of Elevated Plasma EM66 Levels in Pheochromocytoma

Official Title: Clinical Application of New Pheochromocytoma Markers: INSERM Pilot Study of the Specificity of Elevated Plasma EM66 Concentrations in Patients With Pheochromocytoma or Paragangli

Brief Summary: Pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma are tumors generating hypertension as a symptom. Different biological tests are currently available to diagnose these tumors. However, they all lack specificity since they do not distinguish cases of hypertension without pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. To improve the diagnostic specificity of these tumors, the investigators are testing a new marker called EM66.
