Pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma: clinical features and application of neoadjuvant chemotherapy
ConclusionIn the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric ACC, a comprehensive endocrine evaluation is necessary to facilitate early diagnosis. Surgery and chemotherapy are important components of ACC treatment, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for children with ACC who meet certain criteria, such as a large tumor, distant metastases, or poor general condition.

Single and mixture toxicity evaluation of avobenzone and homosalate to male zebrafish and H295R cells
In this study, the effect of the toxicity of a binary mixture comprising avobenzone (0.72 μg L-1) and homosalate (1.02 and 103 μg L-1) on steroid hormone biosynthesis were investigated using male zebrafish and human adrenocortical carcinoma (H295R) cells. In fish exposed to homosalate, a significant decrease in the gonadosomatic index, testosterone level, and transcription of several genes (e.g, hsd3b2, cyp17a1, and hsd17b1) and a significant increase in the hepatosomatic index, liver steatosis, 17β-estradiol level, and transcription of vtg gene were observed. These results suggest that estrogenic and anti-androgenic ef...

High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy Combined with PD-1 Blockade as a Treatment for Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma – A Single Center Case Series
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2150-3944The response rate of advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) to standard chemotherapy with mitotane and etoposide/doxorubicin/cisplatin (EDP-M) is unsatisfactory, and benefit is frequently short lived. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) have been examined in patient’s refractory to EDP-M, but objective response rates are only approximately 15%. High-dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) is a catheter-based internal radiotherapy and expected to favorably combine with immunotherapies. Here we describe three cases of pati...

Two-dimensional chromatography for enantiomeric analysis of mitotane and its metabolite o,p'-DDA in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma indicates enantioselective metabolism
In this study, we analyzed the enantiomers of mitotane and o,p'-DDA in the plasma of patients by a newly developed chiral-phase method employed in two-dimensional chromatography. Important differences were observed in the ratio of (S)/(R)-mitotane, which varied substantially from 1:1.2 to 1:10 whereas the (S)/(R)-o,p'-DDA ratio was relatively conserved, at approximately 2:1. These findings provide evidence for the enantioselective metabolism and provide a method for further analyses of mitotane and metabolites, which can explain the variation in the therapeutic response.PMID:37713949 | DOI:10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106835 (Sou...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4491: Feasibility and Activity of Megestrol Acetate in Addition to Etoposide, Doxorubicin, Cisplatin, and Mitotane as First-Line Therapy in Patients with Metastatic/Unresectable Adrenocortical Carcinoma with Low Performance Status
Conclusions: The association of EDP-M + megestrol acetate in ACC pts with a low PS is feasible and well tolerated; its efficacy appeared to be non-inferior to EDP-M administered to pts with a good PS. (Source: Cancers)

Case report: Remarkable response to a novel combination of mitotane, etoposide, paraplatin, and sintilimab in a patient with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma
ConclusionThis case highlights the remarkable response of our patient’s ACC with MSI-H tumor, MLH1 spice mutation, and high TMB to treatment with a novel combination of EP-M and sintilimab. Our findings suggest a promising therapeutic option for patients with similar molecular profiles. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)
