Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare cancer with a poor but heterogeneous prognosis. These tumours are more frequently encountered in women, sometimes very young and may be diagnosed in women in their child bearing years or already pregnant. Several clinical data have indicated that the secretion and or proliferation of adrenocortical tumors may be affected by the hormonal context of pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
- - Research focused on the outcomes of pregnancy in women treated for adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs), which are aggressive tumors that may express certain hormone receptors and are often found in young women.
- - The study compared 17 ACC patients who became pregnant after treatment to 247 nonpregnant ACC patients and analyzed survival rates and pregnancy outcomes, revealing that pregnancies were generally safe with few complications.
- - Findings indicated that pregnancy did not significantly impact overall survival rates for these patients, although the possibility of a "healthy mother effect" (where healthier women are more likely to conceive) remains a consideration.
