The molecular pathogenesis of hereditary and sporadic adrenocortical and adrenomedullary tumors

Koch, Christian A., Pacak, Karel, Chrousos, George P.·2002·The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

Modern imaging modalities lead to frequent detection of adrenal masses, most of them incidental findings. Although the majority of adrenocortical and adrenomedullary tumors are benign, there are no reliable clinical and laboratory markers to distinguish most of them from malignant neoplasms. The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of these tumors have recently begun to be unraveled. A fruitful avenue for the elucidation of tumorigenesis has been the study of adrenal tumors that are manifestations of hereditary or postzygotic genetic syndromes, because one knows the "first hit", i.e. the primary gene defect. In contrast, in sporadic adrenal tumors the first hit, possibly a somatic mutation of a tumor-related gene, is unknown, and therefore the sequence of genetic alterations is difficult to establish. In this article we review in addition to our own work the literature on molecular aspects of adrenocortical and adrenomedullary tumorigenesis.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most cases of adrenocortical carcinoma are sporadic, but some occur with other tumor syndromes.

    “Most cases of ACC are sporadic but some are known to occur with other tumor syndromes (160).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
