May support EDP-mitotane consideration in advanced adrenocortical carcinoma; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does the combination of mitotane with etoposide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (EDP) improve tumor response in patients with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma?
The combination of EDP chemotherapy plus mitotane is an active and manageable regimen for advanced adrenocortical carcinoma, yielding a 53.5% overall response rate.
