Article Synopsis
  • * The proposed strategy focuses on antineoplastics with low biodegradability and significant ecological risks, utilizing data from São Paulo, Brazil, to predict the mass of these drugs entering waterways and creating a prioritization index based on multiple risk factors.
  • * Key prioritized antineoplastics identified include Paclitaxel and Cisplatin, highlighting the strategy's versatility for adapting to different contexts and improving drug environmental impact assessments.

Article Synopsis
  • Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive cancer treatment often involving a chemotherapy regimen called EDP-M (etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and mitotane) for advanced stages.
  • A study analyzed the relationship between CT textural features at diagnosis and treatment response, enrolling 17 patients and using various evaluation criteria.
  • Results indicated that specific textural features, such as long-run high grey level emphasis and histogram kurtosis, could predict treatment response, showing a promising accuracy in differentiating between responders and non-responders.

We report a case of a ruptured triple hormone-secreting adrenal mass with hyperaldosteronism, hypercortisolism, and elevated normetanephrine levels, diagnosed as adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) by histology. A 53-year-old male patient who initially presented with abdominal pain was referred to our hospital for angiocoagulation of an adrenal mass rupture. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a heterogeneous 19×11×15 cm right adrenal mass with invasion into the right lobe of the liver, inferior vena cava, retrocaval lymph nodes, and aortocaval lymph nodes.

Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that occurs in the adrenal cortex. It has a high degree of malignancy and comparatively poor overall prognosis. Surgery is the standard curative therapy for localized ACC patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Current treatments for metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), like mitotane and cytotoxic agents, are not very effective, leading researchers to explore new options.* -
  • The study identified TAK-243, a novel inhibitor that works by disrupting protein ubiquitination, and it shows strong potential for killing ACC cells both alone and in combination with existing therapies.* -
  • TAK-243 demonstrated promising results in preclinical models, including patient-derived organoids and mouse studies, warranting further investigation in clinical trials for advanced-stage ACC patients.*
