Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma.
[[Surgery]] is the mainstay of treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma. Appropriate [[preoperative evaluation]] and operative planning are really important to assure the best outcome. [[Lymph nodes]] should be removed as part of the en bloc [[resection]].  Recurrence in the [[peritoneum]] outside the tumor bed has the worst survival. [[Surgery]] is indicated in those patients with [[disease]] confined to one site or [[Organ (anatomy)|organ]].

Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma. Appropriate preoperative evaluation and operative planning are really important to assure the best outcome. Lymph nodes should be removed as part of the en bloc resection. Recurrence in the peritoneum outside the tumor bed has the worst survival. Surgery is indicated in those patients with disease confined to one site or organ.

Surgery

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) Open adrenalectomy (OA)
  • American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons recommended OA as the procedure of choice.[7]
  • The peritoneal spread is 60% with significant earlier recurrence.
  • 30% of patients had positive margins.
  • Recurrence rate of 86% in the OA group.
  • Survival for patients with stage 2 was longer in those undergoing OA.

Surgical approach

1. Incision and exploration of the peritoneal cavity.

2. Evaluation of liver for metastasis.

3. Containment: a self-retaining retractor system with towels or laparotomy pads should be placed in such a way as to exclude the rest of the peritoneal cavity from the area of the tumor and other organs requiring resection.

4. Mobilization of organs adjacent to tumor.

5. En bloc resection. Preserve any tissue overlying the tumor.

6. Regional lymphadenectomy.

7. Provide intact en bloc specimen for pathologic review.

8. Mark field to facilitate postsurgical external beam radiation therapy.

9. Dictate operative report.

Recurrence of ACC

  • The number of organs involved by tumor at the time of the first metastasis is a predictor of survival.[8]
  • University of Michigan data shows the site of first metastasis can also be used to predict the survival.
  • Recurrence in the peritoneum outside the tumor bed has the worst survival.
  • Surgery is indicated in those patients with disease confined to one site or organ.
  • Waiting 3 months while treating with chemotherapy to assess for tumor responsiveness of progression. If progression is not rapid, surgery may proceed with greater benefit.[4]
  • The median survival of 74 months in those undergoing complete second resections and a median survival of 16 months in those undergoing incomplete second resection.[9]
