Overview
Prognosis is generally poor, and the 5-year survival rate of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma stage I-III is approximately 30%. Complication may include metastasis, Conn syndrom and Cushing syndrom
Complications
The following are the complications of Adrenocortical carcinoma:
- Cushing's syndrome
- Conn syndrome
- Hypertension
- Local and distant metastasis
- Paraneoplastic syndrome
- Tumor thrombus formation
Prognosis
Adrenocortical carcinoma, generally, carries a poor prognosis.[1] Five-year disease-free survival for a complete resection of a stage I-III is approximately 30%.[1]
The most important prognostic factors are:
- Age of the patient
- Stage of the tumor
- Mitotic activity
- Venous invasion
- Weight more than 50 Kg
- Diameter more than 6.5 cm
- Ki-67/MIB1 labeling index
