title: Adrenocortical Carcinoma in an Adult: Eight Months without Recurrence after Resection and Adjuvant Chemotherapy.
abstract: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare, aggressive malignancy that features a correspondingly poor prognosis. The disease accounts for 0.2% of all malignancies and despite multimodal therapies, its prognosis remains poor, with a mean survival of <30 months. This paper reports on a patient submitted to surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for adrenocortical carcinoma with an ongoing follow-up of 8 months after surgery and no signs of recurrence.
