Abstract

Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare malignancy for which guidelines for drug therapy have not yet developed. This review presents the current potentials for the chemotherapy of ACC; analysis of the effectiveness of different drugs and their combinations was performed. The advisability of use of EDP-M scheme, including mitotane in combination with etoposide, doxorubicin and cisplatin, for the treatment of ACC is explained.
