Endocrine Oncology Program

There is hope, innovation and support available for those with endocrine cancer here at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Endocrine cancers refer to cancers impacting the thyroid, adrenal, parathyroid and pituitary glands. At the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, the endocrine oncology program focuses on:

Patient Care and Treatment
The Endocrine Oncology Clinic is one of the only fully-integrated, interdisciplinary clinics for thyroid and adrenal patients in the world. Members of the team are leaders in their fields, known nationally and internationally for their expertise in treating adrenal cancer. Patients benefit from the experience and expertise of many physicians, not just one.

The team consists of physicians from medical endocrinology, endocrine surgery, radiology, nuclear medicine, pathology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and genetics. Each patient seen in the multidisciplinary clinic has his or her case discussed during a weekly Multidisciplinary Endocrine Oncology Tumor Board, allowing our experts to develop a comprehensive, integrated treatment plan.

Research
The endocrine oncology program is actively involved in researching the causes and treatment of adrenal and other endocrine cancers. This program, established in 2005, brings experts in related fields together to provide coordinated, exceptional patient care.

Support
Since our program is part of the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, our patients have access to Patient/Family Support Services. To fully understand what this means, please take time to visit the For Cancer Center Patients area of this website. We outline the services available to our patients at every point in their care.
