> In fact, I have another doubt : How many adrenal tumors are malignant?
Most are not. I think that there is an article by Dr. Bruce Williams or perhaps him and Dr. Charles Weiss with this info, but you'd have to check me on that. I know there is at least one past post on this by Dr. Williams inthe Complete FHL Archives. Thanks for the chance to give the addie for those since not all members use the website and the link on the first page there:

>Does anybody have this information?
Yes, Dr. Williams does as a pathologist, and certainly other vets know the numbers they have seen.
>And what is the treatment of this tumors?
Some have a very chance of spreading so for them surgery is fully curative for most (but not all since some do spread). Lymphoma requires more aggressive care: Pred or sometimes hefty chemo approaches may be used depending on ferret's particulars and what the people decide.
