Is there any significant research going on there for adrenal cancer? I have a sister in stage 4 and it seems that there is no one working on this type of cancer. Do you have any information on this? All we hear is, enjoy the time you have left????

Thank you for your comment! We spoke with our adrenal cancer experts, and they would be happy to see your sister. If you would like to make an appointment, please call 800-525-2225. Dr. Diane Reidy says that there are therapies available to palliate and control this type of tumor.

Is there anything new for carcinoid tumors? I am currently on Sandostatin LAR.

Thank you for your comment. New treatments would depend on the location of your tumor, so it would be best for you to contact your physician to discuss this. If you would like to make an appointment with a Memorial Sloan-Kettering physician, please call 800-525-2225.

5 years ogo I had stage 1 breast cancer. My Doctor after surgery sent me for a catscan. The test showed I had stag 3c ovarian cancer. I had no clues!.Without that test I am sure that I would not have enjoyed the past 5 years. God bless you.
