Adrenal cancer is a rare type of cancer that develops in the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. These glands produce important hormones that help regulate blood pressure, metabolism, stress response, and other body functions. Early detection and proper medical care are important for effective treatment and better recovery.
