Pheochromocytoma is benign in 90% of cases, and in 10% of patients, it is a malignant adrenal tumor that produces catecholamines (adrenaline and norepinephrine). The usual treatment of pheochromocytoma in Germany is surgery. If there is a necessity for an examination for suspected pheochromocytoma and cancer treatment abroad, you can contact one of the German Urological Centers. On the Booking Health website, you can find out treatment costs and make an appointment at a hospital. Our company's specialists will take care of the organization of treatment.

Surgery for pheochromocytoma

 

In most cases, surgery is the main and only treatment method for pheochromocytoma. The surgery options are as follows:

  • A laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a minimally invasive operation to remove the adrenal gland. This is the main treatment for pheochromocytoma in developed countries. The resection is performed through short incisions, which reduces the rehabilitation time.
  • An open adrenalectomy is an operation through a long incision. This surgical procedure is used in countries with a low level of medicine. In developed countries, it is only used for a malignant form of pathology, as it allows doctors to remove cancer more reliably.
  • A bilateral adrenalectomy may be required if both adrenal glands are affected. This type of cancer is usually associated with hereditary diseases, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or Von Hippel-Lindau disease. After the removal of two adrenal glands, patients receive lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy. 
  • An open or laparoscopic bilateral partial adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure that preserves the part of the adrenal gland that is responsible for the production of glucocorticoids. After such an operation, patients do not require glucocorticoids, or the need for drugs is lower, but there is a higher risk of cancer recurrence.

Surgery usually cures the disease once and for all. Periodically, patients undergo examinations in order to identify the pathology in time in case of its recurrence, but the risk is low because the frequency of relapses after treatment of pheochromocytoma in Germany does not exceed 3%.

Non-surgical treatment for malignant pheochromocytoma

 

If, based on the results of the diagnostic examination, cancer is found to be unresectable, other methods are used instead of surgery. These are the following:

  • Radiation therapy reduces symptoms and shrinks the size of the adrenal tumor.
  • Systemic chemotherapy shrinks the size of the tumor and improves blood pressure control, but does not significantly affect survival rates and is effective in only one in three patients with malignant pheochromocytomas.
  • Radionuclide therapy is used to treat tumors that can accumulate meta-iodobenzylguanidine. Up to 45% of patients respond to this therapy. After successful treatment, the size of tumors shrinks and life expectancy increases.
  • Targeted therapy is a new direction in the treatment of pheochromocytoma. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and angiogenesis inhibitors are used, which block the VEGFR2 protein and prevent the growth of blood vessels in the tumor. More than half of patients respond to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, while only a third respond to therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors. Also in clinical trials, VEGFR2, c-MET, and HIF2A inhibitors are used.
