- Develop an evidence-based management approach for mild autonomous cortisol secretion and bilateral adrenal tumors, incorporating comorbidities, biochemical findings, and indications for surveillance or intervention.
- Apply current diagnostic and management strategies for adrenal insufficiency and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including glucocorticoid replacement, stress dosing, and prevention of adrenal crisis.
- Discuss current primary aldosteronism recommendations to screening, diagnostic evaluation, subtyping, and selection of medical or surgical therapy.
- Identify patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, rare adrenal tumors, or suspected adrenal malignancy who warrant genetic evaluation, specialized testing, multidisciplinary management, or referral to an expert center.
- Integrate adrenal imaging, biochemical and steroid laboratory testing, genetic information, and surgical considerations to formulate patient-centered management plans for complex adrenal disorders.
- Identify lesions requiring additional evaluation or intervention.
