Abstrakt: Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma is an aggressive tumor which often recurs despite apparent complete resection. This study assessed the long-term outcomes for patients with recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma after multimodal salvage therapy with chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who had a pathological diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma between 1996 and 2017. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess progression-free and cancer-specific survivals among all patients and cancer-specific survival among patients with tumor recurrence. Log-rank test was used to compare patient survivals by modality of salvage therapy (chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus surgery).
Results: Of 20 patients who underwent initial surgery, recurrence occurred in 14 (70%) with a median interval of 7.5 (range 1.0-12.6) months. Salvage therapy provided was chemotherapy only (n = 7), chemoradiotherapy (n = 2) and chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus surgery (n = 5). Of the five patients who received salvage surgery, three underwent repeated resections. The potential benefit of multimodal salvage therapy was suggested in five patients (4 with chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy plus surgery and 1 with chemoradiotherapy) who achieved durable disease control (cancer-specific survival from initial recurrence, 22-258 months). With a median follow-up of 25 months from recurrence, the 5-year cancer-specific survival rate was 58%. cancer-specific survival after recurrence was prolonged in patients with ≤ stage 3 disease, positive response to chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy and salvage surgery.
Conclusions: Long-term disease control and survival could be achieved in highly selected patients with recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma using a multidisciplinary approach. Patients who had relatively limited recurrent sites and responded well to chemotherapy/chemoradiotherapy may be considered for salvage surgery on a case-by-case basis.
