7⃣Adrenocortical carcinoma: what you at least should know
https://t.co/B5qW7pv9zG
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is rare, with an incidence of 0.5–2 per million per year.
ACC usually occurs in the fifth or sixth decade with a slight female predominance (sex ratio 1.5 : 1)
Most cases are sporadic, but ACC has also been associated with some hereditary syndromes
The prognosis of ACC is heterogeneous, with median overall survival of 3 years. Surgery remains the only hope for cure.
Diagnosis may be challenging especially when faced with an adrenal incidentaloma.
Its management requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes at least surgeons, endocrinologists, pathologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and radiologists.
Here, the authors present what surgeons should at least know to provide the highest standard of care to patients with ACC

🔔 The ESPAC5 is out!
Immediate surgery 🤜🤛 Neoadjuvant chemo for BR-PDAC
🤯 Difficult recruitment (90/470 screened)
🪡 Resection rate similar
💉 Chemo better survival, no difference btw Gem Cap vs. Folfirinox
🧐 The END of upfront surgery for BR?

@mara_carlota@eledututor De acuerdo @mara_carlota, a pesar de que NO estoy de acuerdo con esta opción, reconozco que el suicidio es el último acto de independencia consciente que tienen los seres humanos. Y como en todo acto de independencia se requiere de valor.
