Funded Activity Summary

Adrenocortical cancers have a poor prognosis. It is essential that patients with adrenocortical cancers be diagnosed early and accurately to enable the initiation of appropriate treatment. Current methods do not reliably differentiate benign adrenal tumours from adrenocortical cancers. The aim of my project is to identify molecular markers which can accurately distinguish benign adrenal tumours from adrenocortical cancers, allowing accurate diagnosis and institution of optimal therapy.
