Abstract
Adrenocortical cancer is a rare malignancy. While surgery is the cornerstone of the management of localized disease, metastatic disease is hard to treat. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and mitotane have been utilized with a variable degree of benefit and few long-term responses. A growing understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of this malignancy as well as multidisciplinary and multi-institutional collaborative efforts will result in better defined targets and subsequently, effective novel therapies.Entities:
