Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to report the cancer risk in secreting adrenal lesions. Secondary aims: to compare the incidence of cancer in secreting versus non-secreting adrenal lesions, in order to evaluate whether adrenal hormone activity can be considered an independent predictive indicator of malignancy; compare intraoperative and 30-day postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing adrenalectomy for secreting adrenal lesions versus non-secretoring lesions; regardless of the type of adrenal lesion, identify if there is one MIS adrenal approach that is superior to the others in terms of intra- and postoperative outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cancer risk in secreting adrenal lesions.

    Number of patients who underwent adrenalectomy for secreting adrenal lesion which later proved to be malignant at definitive histological examination. This variable will be estimated as absolute and relative frequency and percentage value

    From July to December 2024

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Cancer risk in secreting versus non-secreting adrenal lesions

    From July to December 2024

  • Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing adrenalectomy for secreting adrenal lesions versus non-secreting lesions

    From July to December 2024

  • Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in different minimally invasive adrenalectomies

    From July to December 2024

Study Arms (2)

patients underwent surgery for secreting adrenal lesion

patients underwent surgery for non- secreting adrenal lesion

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

This is an ambispective (retrospective and prospective) multicentre observational study. It will based on the consecutive enrollment of all patients aged 18 years or over undergoing elective adrenalectomy, after the acceptance of informed consent. For the primary aim of the study, only patients affected by secreting adrenal lesion will be considered and the incidence of cancer will be established on the basis of the definitive histology. For the further aims of the study, all enrolled patients will be divided into: patients with secreting adrenal lesions and patients with non-secreting adrenal lesions. Both groups will be stratified on the basis of definitive histology (malignant/benign) in order to identify the incidence of cancer for each group, the results will then be compared within and postoperative at 30 days.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients undergoing elective adrenalectomy;
  • Patients aged ≥ 18 years
  • Acceptance of informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients undergoing emergency adrenalectomy;
  • Patients aged ≤ 18 years
  • Pregnant patients
