title: Treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma: contemporary outcomes.
abstract: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare cancer that historically has been associated with poor outcome. Throughout the past decades, growing experience has allowed better understanding of the natural history and optimal management of this cancer. Advances in imaging and aggressive surgical therapy have raised the outlook for recently diagnosed patients. Further improvements in survival will require more effective systemic therapy.
