Clinical Trials for Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal tumors in dogs and cats arise from the adrenal glands and can be either functional (hormone-producing) or non-functional. Adrenocortical carcinoma and pheochromocytoma are the most common malignant types and require complex surgical management. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are studying improved surgical approaches, targeted therapies, and hormonal management strategies through funded research programs.

Understanding Adrenal Cancer in Pets
Adrenal tumors arise from the adrenal glands near the kidneys and regulate hormones. Malignant types can grow into nearby structures and may or may not produce hormones.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats
- Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older animals
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Trials typically enroll based on tumor type (adrenocortical versus pheochromocytoma), whether surgery is possible, and overall health. Both dogs and cats may be eligible depending on the study.
Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
