Can molecular markers revolutionize adrenal cancer management?
NCT ID NCT05754892
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to bring molecular markers into routine care for patients with rare adrenal cancers. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and tumor samples from 450 patients before and after surgery to see if these markers can guide treatment decisions. The goal is to make these tests a standard part of follow-up, potentially improving how doctors monitor and treat the disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make molecular testing a standard part of adrenal cancer care, helping doctors better predict outcomes and choose treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The markers have been validated in the lab but may not improve patient outcomes in real-world practice.
