Clinical prognostic factors in pediatric adrenocortical tumors: A meta‐analysis [PDF]
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2020 AbstractPediatric adrenocortical tumors (ACT) are rare and sometimes aggressive malignancies, but there is no consensus on the outcome predictors in children. A systematic search of MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for studies from 1994 to 2020 about pediatric ACT was performed.

Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in an infant with adrenocortical virilizing tumor
São Paulo Medical Journal, 2002 CONTEXT: Adrenocortical virilizing tumors are rare in the pediatric age group. Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard method for treatment of adrenal functional tumors under 6 cm in size, in adults.

Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II and Its Receptor in Pediatric and Adult Adrenocortical Tumors [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008 Adrenocortical tumors are heterogeneous neoplasms with incompletely understood pathogenesis. IGF-II overexpression has been consistently demonstrated in adult adrenocortical carcinomas.The objective of the study was to analyze expression of IGF-II and its receptor (IGF-IR) in pediatric and adult adrenocortical tumors and the effects of a selective IGF ...

DNA Methylation Profiling Reveals Prognostically Significant Groups in Pediatric Adrenocortical Tumors: A Report From the International Pediatric Adrenocortical Tumor Registry. [PDF]
JCO Precis Oncol, 2019 PURPOSE Pediatric adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are aggressive; the overall survival of patients with ACCs is 40%-50%. Appropriate staging and histologic classification are crucial because children with incomplete resections, metastases, or relapsed disease have a dismal prognosis.

MicroRNA expression profile predicts prognosis of pediatric adrenocortical tumors [PDF]
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2021 Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (ACT) are rare aggressive neoplasms with heterogeneous prognosis. Despite extensive efforts, identifying reliable prognostic factors for pediatric patients with ACT remains a challenge. MicroRNA (miRNA) signatures have been associated with cancer diagnosis, treatment response, and prognosis of several types of cancer ...

Clinical and molecular aspects of a pediatric metachronous adrenocortical tumor [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia, 2011 The occurrence of metachronous adrenocortical carcinoma has rarely been described. We report a case of a child with virilizing adrenocortical metachronous tumors that, despite several metastases, presented long-term survival (15 years). We analyzed in this tumor IGF2, IGF1R and FGFR4 gene expression, and evaluated the presence of p.R337H germline p53 ...

IGF2 and IGF1R in pediatric adrenocortical tumors: roles in metastasis and steroidogenesis [PDF]
Endocrine-Related Cancer, 2016 Deregulation of the IGF system observed in human tumors indicates a role in malignant cell transformation and in tumor cell proliferation. Although overexpression of the IGF2 and IGF1R genes was described in adrenocortical tumors (ACTs), few studies ...
