I have li-fraumeni syndrome and a active tumor on adrenal gland. should i consider having the adrenal gland removed for prevention of cancer?

It would be prudent to talk to your doctor who knows more about your health. An open surgery may not be needed. Small tumor may be susceptible to elimination by occluding the artery. For info: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/pdf/10.2214/AJR.12.9507 Wish you good health!
