Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) Overview

ACC is a rare and aggressive cancer originating in the adrenal cortex above the kidneys. Risk factors include genetic syndromes like Li-Fraumeni and Beckwith-Wiedemann, inherited mutations, family history of adrenal tumors, and radiation exposure.

ACC progresses through stages based on tumor size and metastasis. Early stages involve confined tumors, while later stages may see invasion into nearby tissues or distant spread to organs like the liver, lungs, or bones. Staging guides treatment strategies by assessing disease extent.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) Diagnosis

ACC diagnosis entails a comprehensive approach, starting with medical history review and physical examination to detect adrenal gland abnormalities. Imaging tests like CT, MRI, and PET scans visualize tumors and their extent, while blood and urine tests measure hormone levels and metabolic markers. Biopsies, though definitive, carry risk and aren't always performed. Genetic testing may be advised, particularly with familial history. Staging scans inform treatment decisions, often involving surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapy, supported by multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) Treatment

Treatment options for adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and ongoing investigation into new treatments like immunotherapy and targeted therapy through clinical trials. Surgery, particularly adrenalectomy, is common for removing affected adrenal glands, potentially along with nearby tissues. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells, while chemotherapy halts their growth with drugs. Immunotherapy engages the patient's immune system, and targeted therapy attacks specific cancer cells.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) Epidemiology

As the market is derived using the patient-based model, the Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Incident Cases of ACC, Stage-specific Incident Cases of ACC, Gender-specific Incident Cases of ACC, and Age-specific Incident Cases of ACC in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034.

As per DelveInsight's estimations, the total incident cases of ACC in the 7MM were approximately 12 hundred in 2023 and are projected to increase during the forecast period, owing to the Increasing incidence trends over decades and advancements in diagnostic tools contribute to a better understanding and identification of this rare malignancy.

• The total incident cases of ACC in the United States was approximately three hundred in 2023, and it is expected to increase at an estimated CAGR throughout the study period (2020-2034).
• Among the 7MM, EU4 and the UK accounted for nearly six hundred incident cases of ACC, and these cases are expected to increase during the forecast period (2023-2034).
• Among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest incident population of Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC), with ~160 cases in 2023. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest incident population in EU4 and the UK in 2023.
• In Japan, there were around two hundred incident cases of ACC in 2023. These cases are expected to increase at a significant CAGR.
• Stage-specific Incident Cases of ACC are segmented into four distinct stages. In the US, the distribution of ACC cases across stages reveals that Stage III has the highest cases at 38%, followed by Stage IV at 27%, Stage II at 20%, and Stage I at 15%.
• The gender-specific incident ACC cases within the 7MM indicated an approximate distribution of 40% in males and 60% in females.
• The highest proportion of ACC cases was estimated in the 41-60 years (53%) in EU4 and the UK, while the least cases were in the age group <20 years (3%).
