Conditions We Treat
At our center for oncocrinology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of conditions where hormones and cancer intersect. These may involve tumors that secrete hormones, cancers that are hormone-sensitive, or hormone-related complications arising from cancer therapies. Our multidisciplinary team offers comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and ongoing care for the following:
Hormone-Secreting Tumors
These tumors originate in endocrine glands and release excess hormones, often affecting metabolism, blood pressure, growth, and other bodily functions.
Pituitary Adenomas: Including Prolactinoma, Acromegaly, and Cushing’s Disease
Adrenal Tumors: Such as Pheochromocytoma and Cortisol/Aldosterone-producing adenomas
Thyroid Nodules and Toxic Goiters: Causing hyperthyroidism and related complications
Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Including Insulinoma, VIPoma, and Gastrinoma
Parathyroid Adenomas: Leading to hypercalcemia and related metabolic issues
Hormone-Sensitive Cancers
These cancers grow or respond based on hormone levels in the body. Treatment often involves a combination of oncologic therapies and hormone modulation.
Breast Cancer: Especially estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive (ER/PR+) types
Prostate Cancer: Androgen-sensitive tumors
Endometrial Cancer: Frequently estrogen-responsive
Thyroid Cancer: Often TSH-sensitive and influenced by metabolic hormones
Hormonal Ovarian Tumors: Including granulosa cell tumors and others
Other Hormone-Oncology Conditions
We also manage complex conditions involving hormone-cancer interactions beyond traditional tumor types.
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN Types 1 & 2)
Cancer-Related Hormone Dysfunction: Including treatment-induced hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency
Hormonal Evaluation During Cancer Therapy Planning: To guide chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy decisions
Genetic Syndromes: Involving hormone-producing tumors and inherited cancer risks
