Can Adrenal Cancer Be Prevented?

On this page

Because adrenal cancer is quite rare, we do not yet have a way to prevent it .  However, it is always important to follow general recommendations to lower cancer risk, such as:

  • Avoid smoking
  • Avoid exposures to cancer-causing chemicals
  • Consider genetic testing if you have a family history of adrenal cancer or related cancers.
