Endocrine oncology refers to a medical speciality dealing with hormone producing tumors, i.e. a combination of endocrinology and oncology . Few centres are specializing in hormone producing tumors only, due to the relatively low Incidence epidemiology incidence . Most centres have gastroenterologists, oncologist or endocrinologists who deal with other diseases as well. One exception is the Uppsala Centre of Excellence in Neuroendocrine Tumors ref http www.endocrinetumors.org ref at Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden , where doctors treat only endocrine tumors.

The Endocrine Society is a professional, international medical organization in the field of endocrinology and metabolism , founded in 1916 as The Association for the Study of Internal Secretions. The official name of the organization was changed to The Endocrine Society on January 1, 1952. It is a leading organization in the field and publishes four leading journals. It has more than 14,000 members from over 85 countries in medicine , molecular biology molecular and cellular biology , biochemistry , physiology , genetics , immunology , education , industry and allied health . The Society s mission is excellence in hormone research and care of patients with endocrine disease .

Almost always, this entails operating to remove a tumor which has grown on or within an endocrine gland. Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal The field of endocrine surgery typically comprises surgery for the thyroid gland , parathyroid glands , and adrenal glands . The most common endocrine surgery operation is removal of the thyroid thyroidectomy , followed by parathyroid surgery parathyroidectomy , followed by the rare operation on the adrenal gland adrenalectomy . Pituitary, testicles ovaries, and pancreas Although not typically referred to as endocrine surgery, it could be argured that surgery of the pituitary gland, testicles , ovaries , and pancreas are also forms of endocrine surgery since these glands are hormone producing glands as well. More classically, however, only thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery are thought of as endocrine surgery with pituitary surgery typically thought of as a form of neurosurgery testicle surgery typically thought of as urologic surgery ovary surgery typically thought of as a form of gynecologic surgery and pancreatic surgery typically thought of as oncology surgery.

They make up 33 46 of the human islet cells and are responsible for synthesizing and secreting the peptide hormone glucagon , which elevates the glucose levels in the blood . To elevate glucose levels, glucagon binds to receptors on hepatocyte s liver cells and some other cells e.g. kidney cells . This activates an enzyme, glycogen phosphorylase , inside the hepatocyte to hydrolyse glycogen to glucose. This process is called glycogenolysis . In rodents, alpha cells are located in the periphery of the islets, however in humans the islet architecture is generally less organized and alpha cells are frequently observed inside the islets as well. When being viewed by an electron microscope , alpha cells can be identified by their characteristic Granule cell biology granules with a large dense core and a small white halo.
