- Surgery. The entire adrenal carcinoma will be removed during surgery. Doctors must perform an adrenalectomy (complete removal of the afflicted adrenal glands) to do this. Parts or all of the liver and kidney may also be removed during surgery if the surgeons discover indications that the cancer has spread to surrounding structures like those in the region.
- Robotic surgery. Robotic surgical methods can be used to treat a variety of malignancies, including adrenal cancer. A skilled surgeon employs wristed, robotic devices to conduct fine, delicate movements that are impossible with the human hand alone through small incisions.
- Radiotherapy. High-powered energy beams, such X-rays and protons, are used in radiation therapy to kill cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a medication that destroys cancer cells by using chemicals.
