abstract: Adrenal cancer is a rare disease which is often diagnosed at a late stage and usually has a poor prognosis. This review article gives a current knowledge on the etiopathogenesis, which could lead to the improvement of therapeutic strategies and possibly outcomes of therapy. Further, clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and current treatment options in patients with adrenal cancer are summarized. The multidisciplinary approach as well as centralized care is necessary for successful management of patients with adrenal cancer and for improvement of their poor prognosis.
