About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Adrenal Tumors focused on measuring adrenal gland

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Unresectable adrenal tumor which will be treated by radiofrequency (RF)ablation
  • Blood pressure is 140mmHg or less before RF ablation
  • Age of 20-years or more
  • Performance status of 0 or 1
  • Agreement from the patient

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Platelet count of 50,000/mm^3 or International normalized ratio (INR)>1.5

Sites / Locations

  • Mie University Hospital
  • Mie University

Active Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Adrenal radiofrquency (RF) ablation

Abdominal RF ablation other than adrenal gland

Arm Description

Patients who wll receive adrenal RF ablation.

Patients who will receive abdominal radiofrequency ablation other than adrenal gland.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Increase in Catecholamine
Serum Cathecholamine Levels
Number of Participants With Hypertension During Adrenal or Non-adrenal Radiofrequency Ablation
Blood pressure was monitored during radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The frequency of hypertension (systolic blood pressure of more than 200 mmHg) was evaluated and compared between the adrenal and non-adrenal (RF ablation other than adrenal gland) RF ablation groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Increase in Cortisol

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in adrenal hormones during adrenal radiofrequency (RF) ablation.
Detailed Description
Adrenal radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been increasingly used for the treatment of unresectable adrenal tumors. But one of the major complication is a increase in blood pressure. Hormonal release during RF ablation is considered the cause of hypertension. But there has been no evidence that adrenal hormones affects changes in blood pressure. In this prospective study, we evaluate the changes in adrenal hormones during RF ablation and clarify the cause of hypertensive crisis.
