Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find an effective mitotane dosage for treating pediatric patients with adrenocortical cancer (ACC) while maintaining desired plasma levels and evaluating its effectiveness alongside chemotherapy.
- Eleven children with ACC participated, receiving mitotane doses that varied considerably; most reached therapeutic plasma levels, and some exhibited tumor remission after treatment.
- The findings suggest that while mitotane dosage varies, it requires careful monitoring, and combining mitotane with chemotherapy may be the best current option for ACC, indicating a need for further research on treatment responses.
