-and is unlike most tumours of the adrenal cortex, which are [[benign]] ([[adenoma]]s) and only occasionally cause [[Cushing's syndrome]].  Five-year disease-free survival for a complete resection of a [[Cancer staging|stage]] I-III ACC is approximately 30%.<ref name=allolio/>
-The most important prognostic factors are age of the patient and stage of the tumor. Poor prognostic factors: mitotic activity, venous invasion, weight of 50g+; diameter of 6.5 cm+, Ki-67/MIB1 labeling index of 4%+, p53+.
