Summary

This study looked at 807 adults with adrenal tumors found by chance during scans for other reasons. Researchers compared the standard approach of repeated CT scans with a single urine test to see which was more cost-effective for detecting cancer. The goal was to find a simpler, cheaper way to manage these tumors without missing dangerous cases.
