Adrenocortical carcinoma: a clinician's update
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare heterogeneous neoplasm with an incompletely understood pathogenesis and a poor prognosis. No general consensus on the diagnostic and therapeutic measures for adrenocortical c...

Assessment of tumor heterogeneity in treatment-naïve adrenocortical cancer patients using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography
As an orphan malignancy, only limited treatment options are available in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Non-invasive risk assessment has not been described but may be of value to stratify patients for treatme...

Correction to: Adrenocortical incidentalomas and bone: from molecular insights to clinical perspectives
The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in Figure 1. There is a typo in the word “osteoclastogenesis” and the word “activity” is missing in the same entity. It should be “osteocl...

Adrenocortical incidentalomas and bone: from molecular insights to clinical perspectives
Adrenal incidentalomas constitute a common clinical problem with an overall prevalence of around 2–3%, but are more common with advancing age being present in 10% of those aged 70 years. The majority of these ...

Open AccessVolumetric and texture analysis of pretherapeutic 18F-FDG PET can predict overall survival in medullary thyroid cancer patients treated with Vandetanib
The metabolically most active lesion in 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT can predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) starting treatment with the ...

Open AccessRationale and design of the cardiovascular status in patients with endogenous cortisol excess study (CV-CORT-EX): a prospective non-interventional follow-up study
Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS) results in increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. So far, most studies focussed on distinct disease entities rather than the integrity of the CV system. We he...

Open AccessInternational consensus on initial screening and follow-up of asymptomatic SDHx mutation carriers
Approximately 20% of patients diagnosed with a phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma carry a germline mutation in one of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx) genes (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD), which encode the four su...

The role of regulated necrosis in endocrine diseases
The death of endocrine cells is involved in type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmunity, adrenopause and hypogonadotropism. Insights from research on basic cell death have revealed that most pathophysiologically im...

Open AccessPre- versus post-operative untargeted plasma nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolomics of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma
Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas (PPGL) result in chronic catecholamine excess and serious health complications. A recent study obtained a metabolic signature in plasma from PPGL patients; however, its tar...

Open AccessFGF/FGFR signaling in adrenocortical development and tumorigenesis: novel potential therapeutic targets in adrenocortical carcinoma
FGF/FGFR signaling regulates embryogenesis, angiogenesis, tissue homeostasis and wound repair by modulating proliferation, differentiation, survival, migration and metabolism of target cells. Understandably, c...

Open AccessSomatostatin receptor-directed molecular imaging for therapeutic decision-making in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma
Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly deployed in the diagnostic algorithm of patients affected with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). We aimed...

Management of phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma in patients with germline SDHB pathogenic variants: an international expert Consensus statement
Adult and paediatric patients with pathogenic variants in the gene encoding succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit B (SDHB) often have locally aggressive, recurrent or metastatic phaeochromocytomas and paraganglio...

Open AccessPrognostic role of quantitative [18F]FDG PET/CT parameters in adrenocortical carcinoma
We aimed to evaluate the prognostic potential of baseline [18F]FDG PET/CT for overall survival (OS) in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).
