Aetiology
The exact cause of malignant neoplasms of other endocrine glands or related structures is not known, but it may be related to genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, and viruses.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is based on medical history, physical exam, imaging studies, and biopsy.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis includes other types of cancer, benign tumors, and other diseases of the endocrine system.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the type and stage of the cancer, but typically includes surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy.
Prognosis
The prognosis for malignant neoplasms of other endocrine glands or related structures depends on the type, size, and spread of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve prognosis.
