Understanding The Condition

What Is Endocrine Cancer?

Endocrine Cancer develops in hormone-producing glands that regulate important body functions such as metabolism, growth, blood sugar, reproduction, and stress response. These cancers may arise in the adrenal glands, pancreas, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid glands, or neuroendocrine cells located throughout the body.

Some endocrine tumours produce excessive hormones that cause noticeable symptoms, while others remain silent until they grow larger or spread. Early diagnosis and specialised care are important for achieving the best possible outcomes.

Common types include:

  • Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs)
  • Adrenal Cancer (Adrenocortical Carcinoma)
  • Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
  • Pituitary Tumours
  • Functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours such as insulinoma and gastrinoma
Risk Assessment

Causes and Risk Factors

Although the exact cause is not always known, certain factors may increase the risk of endocrine cancers.

Having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean you will develop endocrine cancer. Regular health check-ups and timely evaluation of persistent symptoms can support early diagnosis.

Common Risk Factors

Inherited genetic syndromes (MEN1, MEN2, VHL)
Family history of endocrine tumours
Hormonal disorders
Increasing age
Previous radiation exposure
Certain inherited gene mutations
Long-standing endocrine diseases
Clinical Indicators

Symptoms of Endocrine Cancer

The Symptoms of Endocrine Cancer vary depending on the gland involved and whether the tumour produces excess hormones.

Common symptoms include:

Persistent high blood pressure

Elevated blood pressure that remains unmanaged despite standard clinical interventions.

Frequent headaches

Recurrent or severe headaches associated with hormonal surges or pituitary involvement.

Excessive sweating

Unusual episodes of diaphoresis or excessive perspiration unrelated to physical exertion.

Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

Significant fluctuations in body weight without deliberate dietary changes.

Persistent diarrhoea or flushing

Frequent gastrointestinal disturbances or facial redness associated with neuroendocrine hormone release.

Low blood sugar episodes

Hypoglycaemic attacks (such as insulinoma symptoms) causing dizziness, confusion, or weakness.

Fatigue and weakness

Generalized physical exhaustion and muscle weakness interfering with daily activity.

Abdominal pain

Persistent upper or lower abdominal discomfort related to abdominal neuroendocrine or adrenal masses.

Palpitations

Rapid or irregular heartbeats often triggered by catecholamine-secreting tumours like pheochromocytomas.

A lump or swelling detected during imaging

Incidental detection of glandular masses or nodules during routine ultrasound, CT, or MRI imaging.

Many of these symptoms may occur due to non-cancerous endocrine conditions. However, persistent or unexplained symptoms should always be evaluated by an experienced specialist.

Precision Testing

Advanced Diagnosis for Endocrine Cancer

Accurate diagnosis is essential for selecting the most appropriate treatment. At GEM Cancer Centre, we use advanced investigations to identify the type of tumour, evaluate hormone production, determine disease extent, and personalise treatment planning.

Hormonal Blood and Urine Tests

Specialised blood and urine investigations help identify abnormal hormone production associated with endocrine tumours.

Advanced Imaging

Our specialists may recommend:

  • Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET-CT
  • CT Scan
  • MRI Scan
  • PET-CT Scan
  • Ultrasound (when required)

These imaging techniques help accurately stage endocrine tumours and detect disease spread.

Biopsy and Histopathology

When appropriate, tissue samples are examined to confirm the diagnosis, identify tumour type, determine tumour grade, and guide treatment decisions.

Molecular and Genetic Testing

Selected patients may benefit from genetic testing to identify inherited syndromes or molecular alterations that influence treatment decisions and family screening.

These comprehensive investigations allow our specialists to develop a personalised treatment strategy for every patient.
