The Mount Sinai clinical pathway for the management of pheochromocytoma

Abstract

Objective: Pheochromocytomas are complex tumors that require a comprehensive and systematic management plan orchestrated by a multidisciplinary team.

Methods: To achieve these ends, The Mount Sinai Adrenal Center hosted an interdisciplinary retreat where experts in adrenal disorders assembled with the aim of developing a clinical pathway for the management of pheochromocytomas.

Results: The result was a consensus for the diagnosis, perioperative management, and postoperative management of pheochromocytomas, with specific recommendations from our team of adrenal experts, as well as a review of the current literature.

Conclusion: Our clinical pathway can be applied by other institutions directly or may serve as a guide for institution-specific management.
