The incidence of endocrine tumors is on the rise. This includes thyroid cancer, a very frequent, treatable cancer, and pituitary tumors such as prolactinomas, meningiomas of the sella turcica or surrounding structures, craniopharyngiomas, and other tumors that cause acromegaly, Cushing's disease, all of which can cause blindness, obesity, chronic fatigue, diabetes insipidus, etc. This also includes adrenal tumors that cause uncontrolled hypertension, such as pheochromocytoma, adrenals adenomas and adrenal cancers. This also includes the so-called neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which can cause carcinoid syndrome (chronic unexplained diarrhea, abdominal pains, flushing, and bronchospasm). At the RVH we need a new ultrasound machine for the endocrinology team. Funds will be directed to this objective.
