Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adrenal tumors have a prevalence of around 2% in the general population. Adrenal tumors produce specific hormones and cause characteristic symptoms. The majority of incidentally found adrenal tumors are clinically silent; however, some are malignant or pose other threats to life.
Metabolomics and proteomics are new tools for the diagnosis of patients with adrenal incidentaloma and hormonally active and suspected malignant lesions.
This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles on a range of topics related to current and new diagnostic approaches for adrenal tumors (pheochromocytoma, primary aldosteronism, adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenal tumors with associated autonomous cortisol secretion, non-functioning adrenal tumors and others), in particular the use of newer immunoassays, liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography (GC/MS).
