“…Screening for pheochromocytoma should always precede either biopsy or resection, to avoid the risk of crisis. Pheochromocytomas also require the immediate initiation of the adrenergic blockade and prompt resection, due to the unpredictable risk of life-threatening adrenergic crisis (Stewart & Story 2017).…”

Substantial management changes in endocrine-related malignancies have been required as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including draconian reduction in screening of asymptomatic subjects, delay in planned surgery and radiotherapy for primary tumors deemed to be indolent, and dose reductions and/or delays in initiation of some systemic therapies. An added key factor has been patient-initiated delay in presentation because of fear of viral infection. Patterns of clinical consultation have changed, including a greater level of virtual visits, physical spacing, masking, staffing changes to ensure a COVID-free population and significant changes in patterns of family involvement. While this has occurred to improve safety from COVID-19 infection, the implications for cancer outcomes have not yet been defined. Based on prior epidemics and financial recessions, it is likely that delayed presentation and treatment of high-grade malignancy will be associated with worse cancer outcomes. Cancer patients are also at increased risk from COVID-19 infection compared to the general population. Pandemic management strategies for patients with tumors of breast, prostate, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal gland are reviewed.
