Overview

Radiation therapyand radiofrequency ablation may be used for palliation in patients who are not surgical candidates.

Radiation Therapy

Radiotherapy has shown improvement in both the adjuvant and palliative ACCs.

Radiation therapy in non-metastatic ACC

  • According to the National Cancer Data Base and The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program, there is an evidence that radiotherapy might be effective.[1]
  • Local recurrence-free survival was 86% in the group that received radiation compared with11%in those that did not.[2]
  • Radiotherapy also can be used for treating unresectable masses.[3]

Radiation therapy for palliation
