Abstract:
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare cancer with poor prognosis. We report a case of metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma in a 61-year-old man successfully treated with multimodal therapy. A left adrenal tumor was detected incidentally in the patient and an adrenalectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was adrenocortical carcinoma, stage II. After 1 year, multiple local recurrences were detected in the retroperitoneum space. The patient underwent a metastasectomy and received three courses of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of etoposide, doxorubicin, and cisplatin plus mitotane. No obvious recurrence has been observed in the 60 months since the treatment.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
