The type of hormone that is overproduced depends on the part of the adrenal gland affected by the tumour. Some endocrine tumours may not cause an overproduction of hormones and don't cause any obvious symptoms. These are known as non-functioning tumours.

Addisonâs Disease The causes of adrenal cancer are not known, but it is more likely to occur in the cortex, the outer portion of the adrenal gland, than in the medulla, the central portion of the gland. The adrenal glands produce several hormones, which can be produced in excess when cancer is present. Abnormal hormone levels can cause certain symptoms of adrenal cancer, but people who have early adrenal cancer may not have any symptoms at all.
