Abstract
Adrenal cancers (adrenal cortical carcinoma, malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma) are rare tumours that may occur as a familial disease. Medical treatments did not show any efficiency in the management of this condition; possible "recovery" may be expected from curative surgery in case of a localized tumour, or from screening in case of a genetic disease. The aim of the presented project is to improve the management of patients with adrenal cancer, and to develop research projects with the help of two existing networks: the national COMETE network, and the european ENS@T network.
