Best Adrenal Tumors Treatment by Dr. Fowad Shahzad in Lahore

What are Adrenal Tumors?

Adrenal tumors are growths that develop in the adrenal glands, which are located just above the kidneys. These glands are responsible for producing important hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone that control stress, blood pressure, and metabolism.

Sometimes adrenal tumors are harmless (non-cancerous), but in other cases, they may produce excess hormones or even be cancerous. Proper diagnosis and treatment are very important.
