Endocrine cancers are malignancies that originate in the hormone-producing glands of the endocrine system, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas. These cancers can affect hormone production and lead to symptoms such as weight changes, fatigue, or abnormal growth patterns. Early detection and advancements in treatments like targeted therapy and immunotherapy have improved patient outcomes. Management typically involves surgery, radiation, and medication to control hormone levels and prevent recurrence.
