What department should I go to for pheochromocytoma?
Pheochromocytoma generally requires consultation at the endocrinology or surgical department. Please ask a physician to assess the current situation. For further examination and diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, qualitative and locational diagnostics are necessary. Qualitative diagnostics typically involve blood tests where levels of catecholamine metabolites in the blood and urine are tested to assist in diagnosis; locational diagnostics involve using CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound to help determine the specific location of the tumor. Treatment for pheochromocytoma generally involves surgical removal of the tumor once it is found, combined with medication treatment, which often leads to satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
