  2. 1. Insights into the transcriptomic profiling of adrenocortical tumors

    Author : David Velázquez-Fernández; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adrenocortical tumours;

    Abstract : An adrenocortical tumour (ACT) can be detected in up to 5% of the population older than 50 years of age. The frequency increases with age. More ACTs are being detected in parallel with the increased use of high-resolution imaging. READ MORE

  4. 2. Improved adrenocortical PET imaging

    Author : Isabella Silins; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Gunnar Antoni; Anders Sundin; Azita Monazzam; Håkan Geijer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Introduction: Adrenal tumours can either be benign or malignant, hormone secreting or not, and they can be discovered through clinical examination of the patient or by pure chance. Increased knowledge in the area, plus the widespread use of imaging techniques, have resulted in a rising number of patients with adrenal tumours that subsequently need to be diagnosed.

  5. 3. Differential RNA expression in benign and malignant adrenocortical tumours

    Author : David Velázquez-Fernández; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adrenocortical; microarray; mRNA; cancer; tumors; cDNA; expression profiles; aldosterone; cortisol; endocrine; adenomas; carcinomas; IGF2; ALDH1A1.;

    Abstract : Adrenocortical cancer is a rare but very aggressive endocrine tumor, with a yearly incidence of 0.5 to 2 cases per million inhabitants, accounting for 0.2% of all cancer related deaths. READ MORE

  6. 4. Clinical Studies on Adrenocortical Tumours using  [11C]-metomidate Positron Emission Tomography

    Author : Joakim Hennings; Per Hellman; Bo Wängberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Adrenal tumours, discovered en passant in patients undergoing radiological examinations for non-adrenal disease, so-called adrenal incidentalomas, have increased dramatically in the recent era of more sophisticated diagnostic modalities such as high resolution multidetector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, primary aldosteronism (PA) has been documented in several screening studies as being far more common than previously believed among hypertensive patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Functional and diagnostic aspects on adrenocortical adenoma

    Author : Ulla Enberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Adrenocortical tumours are frequently detected due to increased use of imaging techniques like computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound. The majority of the patients have tumours that do not have any overproduction of hormone. READ MORE
