Management of Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2009Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare tumors that arise from the cortex of the adrenal gland with an incidence 1 to 2 per million. The rarity of this tumor translates into a paucity of experience in managing patients in most medical centers. Because clinical series are small and prospective evaluation of treatment strategies is limited, the current

Current Oncology Reports, 2019Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy typically with poor prognosis. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge regarding the clinical management of ACC.Surgery remains the cornerstone for localized ACC management. In more advanced cases, debulking surgery when feasible can help with hormonal control and may allow the ...

Large Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Journal of the National Medical Association, 2009Adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare, highly malignant tumors that carry a poor prognosis. The large size and possibility of adherence to adjacent structures can make these tumors difficult to excise. We present a patient who underwent successful resection of a massive 19-cm, nonfunctional ACC, which encased the right kidney.

Clinical Endocrinology, 2003SummaryAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm with poor prognosis. Patients present with signs of steroid hormone excess (e.g. Cushing's syndrome, virilization) or an abdominal mass. Tumour size at presentation (mean diameter at diagnosis > 10 cm) is the most important indicator of malignancy.

Treatment of Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Surgical Pathology Clinics, 2019Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. ACC is capable of secreting excess adrenocortical hormones, which can compound morbidity and compromise clinical outcomes. By the time most ACCs are diagnosed, there is usually locoregional or metastatic disease.
