Overview
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare cancer that tends to affect children and young adults.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of adrenocortical carcinoma is believed to be 0.72 per million cases per year leading to 0.2% of all cancer deaths in the United States and 0.2 to 0.3 per million children per year worldwide but valid data are lacking.[1]
Age
- A bimodal distribution was observed, the first one in pediatrics and the second one in the fifth to sixth decade.[2]
Gender
- There is a predilection for the female gender (the ratio of female to male ranges from.[3]
- Girls are also more commonly affected than boys (1.6:1).[4]
