Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and often aggressive adrenal cortex malignancy that demands coordinated endocrine, oncologic, surgical, radiologic, and pathology expertise.1 Because most ACC evidence comes from retrospective series, specialist consensus, and referral-center experience rather than large randomized datasets, this wiki should be read as a structured synthesis of a rare-disease literature base rather than a settled protocol manual.1

Scope
This first wiki slice focuses on the clinical backbone of adult ACC: how the disease is framed, how suspected cases are worked up, how prognosis is stratified, and how surgery and systemic therapy are usually organized.1 Additional topics from the project plan, including pathology details, surveillance, recurrent disease, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and supportive endocrine management, should build outward from these notes rather than duplicate them.1
