Abstract

The role of radiation therapy in the management of adrenal cortical carcinoma has had little documentation in the literature. Fourteen patients with this malignancy were given 18 courses of palliative, preoperative or postoperative irradiation. The clinical results are presented. Significant palliation was obtained in all patients along with occasional long term local control of unresectable lesions.

  • Early reports concluding radiotherapy ineffective relied on poorly documented results in low numbers of heterogeneous patients.

    “The shortcomings of such conclusions were accurately detailed by Percarpio and Knowlton (335), who described how these studies relied on poorly documented results in a low number of heterogeneous patients.”

  • Radiotherapy has been shown in several recent series to offer a significant improvement in disease control in both adjuvant and palliative settings, although such improvement has not been universally demonstrated.

    “Although traditionally considered ineffective for ACC (327–331), radiotherapy has been shown in several recent series to offer a significant improvement in disease control in both the adjuvant and palliative settings (247, 332–337), although such an improvement has not been universally demonstrated (338).”

    From Adrenocortical carcinoma (2014) · cites this paper as [335]

  • Percarpio et al 1976 detailed 12 instances of palliative radiotherapy, all of which resulted in relief of symptoms or reduction in palpable tumor size, regardless of variation in location and characteristics of metastatic disease.

    “This detailed 12 instances of palliative radiotherapy, all of which resulted in relief of symptoms or reduction in palpable tumor size, regardless of the substantial variation in the location and characteristics of their metastatic disease (335).”

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.
