title: [Our experience with the treatment of cancer of the adrenal cortex].
abstract: Nineteen patients with suprarenal tumours were treated surgically within 9 years. Suprarenal cortex carcinoma was diagnosed in 4 of them. One patient was operated twice within 18 months: first the tumour from the right suprarenal gland was removed, then--from the left. Four out of 5 removed tumours were quite sizeable; only in one patient tumour was less than 5 cm in diameter. For diagnostic purposes urography, arteriography, computer tomography and USG were used. Because the characteristic symptoms of the diagnose were absent. Patients reported for the treatment when the disease was markedly advanced. This study stresses the necessity of operative treatment despite discouraging results of diagnostic examinations.
