Adrenal Cancer

Adrenal cancer, specifically adrenocortical cancer, is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy of the adrenal cortex with an annual incidence of 1–2 per million and a poor 5-year survival rate of 25%. It may present as functional or non-functional tumors, with functional variants causing symptoms due to hormone excess. Surgical resection remains the primary curative treatment, and certain inherited syndromes are associated with increased risk.
