Overview

Hormonal evaluation merits use in suspected ACC; leaves targeted therapies open for prospective trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with adrenocortical cancer (ACC)
I
Intervention
Various treatments including surgery, chemotherapy (etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin plus mitotane, or streptozotocin plus mitotane), and targeted therapies (insulin-like growth factor I receptor antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antiangiogenic compounds)

Adrenocortical cancer is a rare disease with poor prognosis requiring hormonal evaluation for diagnosis and ongoing research into targeted therapies.
