Background information on Adrenocortical Carcinoma [When available]

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a carcinoma of the cortex (outer layer) of the adrenal gland. While most tumors of the adrenal cortex are benign (adenomas) and only occasionally cause Cushing's syndrome, the malignant form makes up about 3% of all cortical tumors and requires surgery and sometimes chemotherapy. Excess cortisol production may require suppression with ketoconazole or metyrapone. Production of aldosterone or androgens by carcinomas is extremely rare. Adrenocortical carcinomas are also sometimes referred to as adrenal cortical carcinomas, ACC, or adrenal cortex cancers

Complete surgical excision (if possible) is the primary treatment used for these neoplasms.
