Abstract

CONTEXT: Prognostic parameters of metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) are poorly characterized. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to describe the clinical presentation of metastatic ACC and determine prognostic factors for survival. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort study (1988-2004). SETTING: The study was conducted in an institutional practice. PATIENTS: Participants included 124 consecutive patients with metastatic ACC, 70 from Gustave-Roussy Institute (main cohort) and 54 patients from the Cochin Hospital (validation cohort). Clinical data concerning all patients, histopathologic slides of primary tumors (44 in the main cohort and 40 in the validation cohort), and molecular biology data on 15 primary tumors (main cohort) were analyzed. INTERVENTION: There was no intervention. MAIN OUTCOME: The main outcome was the specific survival after discovery of the first metastasis (Kaplan-Meier method). This included univariate analysis on the main cohort, confirmed on the validation cohort and then analyzed in a multivariate analysis. RESULTS: In the main cohort, overall median survival was 20 months. In univariate analysis, the presence of hepatic and bone metastases, the number of metastatic lesions and the number of tumoral organs at the time of the first metastasis, a high mitotic rate (>20 per 50 high-power field), and atypical mitoses in the primary tumor predicted survival (P = 0.05, 0.003, 0.046, 0.001, 0.01, and < 0.001, respectively). The number of tumoral organs and a high mitotic rate were confirmed on the validation cohort (P = 0.009 and 0.03, respectively). These two parameters were confirmed in multivariate analysis (P = 0.0058 and 0.049). CONCLUSION: Metastatic ACC is a heterogeneous disease with poor outcome. The combination of the number of tumoral organs at the time of the first metastasis and the mitotic rate can predict different outcomes.

  • Tumor extent (stage), specifically presence of distant metastasis and number of organs involved, confers a worse prognosis.

    “Tumor extent (eg, stage), specifically the presence of distant metastasis and number of organs involved in metastatic disease, confers a worse prognosis (243, 244).”

    From Adrenocortical carcinoma (2014) · cites this paper as [243]

  • Age at diagnosis is correlated with decreased overall survival.

    “Naturally, age at diagnosis is correlated with decreased overall survival (243).”

  • Tumor grade correlates with survival.

    “Tumor grade influences the decision for reoperation because it correlates with survival (243, 245).”

  • The number of organs involved by tumor at the time of the first metastasis is a predictor of survival.

    “The number of organs involved by tumor at the time of the first metastasis is a predictor of survival (243, 265).”

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.
