Imaging-guided radiofrequency ablation offers effective local control for adrenal cancers and serves as a minimally invasive option for adrenal tumors. Careful management of potential hypertensive crises is crucial for patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Adrenal gland tumors can be malignant or benign, requiring diverse treatment strategies.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly preferred for adrenal pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the indications for adrenal gland ablation guided by imaging.
  • To describe the procedural approach for imaging-guided adrenal ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on imaging-guided adrenal ablation techniques.
  • Focus on radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a primary modality.

Main Results:

  • Imaging-guided RFA is effective for local control of primary and metastatic adrenal malignancies.

  • RFA presents a minimally invasive therapeutic alternative for functioning adrenal tumors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiofrequency ablation is a viable treatment for adrenal malignancy and functioning tumors.
    • Preprocedure alpha- and beta-blocker administration is essential for managing hypertensive crisis risks.
