Adrenocortical carcinoma: selective internal radiation therapy and liver metastases.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive tumour with limited treatments. Once metastatic disease develops, existing standard-of-care treatments offer a dismal overall survival, alongside marked toxicities. Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) may represent a new intervention in the treatment paradigm for liver-limited, metastatic ACC. Here, we present the case of a patient treated with multiple rounds of SIRT for relapsed, liver-limited ACC, prolonging survival by several years. Recurrent SIRT led to maintained liver function and no toxicities. Little evidence outlines its use in ACC but further study is certainly warranted to ascertain the value of SIRT, considering the limited treatment landscape that currently exists.
