Pheochromocytoma Tumor Test Package at Affordable Price

Pheochromocytoma is an uncommon tumor type that grows in the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of the kidneys. Pheochromocytomas are usually benign (non-cancerous), but they can be malignant (cancerous) in some cases. Pheochromocytomas arise from cells that produce adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are hormones that help regulate blood pressure and the body's response to stress.

The symptoms of pheochromocytoma includes palpitations, rapid heartbeat, headaches, sweating, flushing, anxiety and tremors. It can also cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.

Diagnosis of pheochromocytoma typically involves blood and urine tests to measure levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and their breakdown products. Imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy may be used to locate the tumor.

Genetic testing may also be recommended in some cases, as pheochromocytomas can be associated with certain genetic syndromes such as multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A and 2B, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and neurofibromatosis type 1
