Systemic Treatment of Adrenocortical Carcinoma in Children: Data from the German GPOH-MET 97 Trial

Abstract: Systemic chemotherapy and mitotane therapy are important therapeutic options in the treatment of advanced pediatric ACC patients. Neoadjuvant therapy should be considered for patients with primarily incomplete resectable or inoperable tumors, and tumor spillage is an indication for adjuvant chemo- and mitotane therapy. All pediatric ACC patients should be treated in pediatric oncological centers according to a consistent protocol in a highly interdisciplinary setting.

“…All patients ≤4 years at diagnosis were alive without evidence of disease after at least a 5-year follow-up, whereas all patients aged 10 years or older died from their disease. The strong association between age and outcome was also reported in other series (3)(4)(5)8). We acknowledge that in the present study disease stage was lower in the younger subgroup which may explain the better outcome, yet perhaps age and stage of disease are directly correlated.…”

“…Moreover, in metastasized disease, evidence on treatment options is scarce. Recently published results from the German GPOh-MET 97 trial emphasize the importance of radical surgery in localized disease and suggest that chemotherapy (vincristine/ifosfamide/adriamycin or carboplatin/VP16) in combination with mitotane could yield a survival benefit in metastasized disease (3,11).…”

“…A literatura refere um prognóstico significativamente melhor nos pacientes pediátricos com TAC do que nos pacientes adultos (70,(81)(82)(83)(84). A média de sobrevida total após cinco anos do diagnóstico em pacientes pediátricos com TAC é de cerca de 75-95% (18).…”

“…Regimens with mitotane and chemotherapeutic drugs are often used before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) tumor resection, either to reduce the tumor size to enable a more complete resection or to prevent or treat recurrence [27,69,70]. Incomplete surgical resection is associated with a poor prognosis [71].…”
