How is adrenal gland cancer discovered?
15 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Scan and biopsy: Blood tests can measure levels of adrenal hormones. Ct and MRI scans can show the tumor and biopsy can confirm.

Usually CT scan: Usually by a ct scan done to workup flank or abdominal pain - sometimes a ct done for other conditions, and occasionally during a workup for hormone excess (cushing's syndrome).
