Official Title: Randomized Control Trial of Adrenalectomy Versus Observation for Subclinical Hypercortisolism
Brief Summary:
Background:
- Adrenal tumors are a common kind of tumor. Some of these secrete extra cortisol into the body, which can lead to diabetes, obesity, and other diseases. Some people with extra cortisol will show symptoms like bruising and muscle weakness. Others will show no signs. This is called subclinical hypercortisolism. Some of these adrenal tumors become malignant. Researchers want to know the best way to treat people with subclinical hypercortisolism. They want to know if removing the tumor by surgery reduces the long-term effects of the disease.
Objectives:
- To see if removing an adrenal tumor by surgery improves blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, or cholesterol, and cancer detection.
Eligibility:
- Adults 18 and older with an adrenal tumor and high cortisol levels.
Design:
