Can adrenocortical carcinoma be prevented?

Experts know very little about what causes adrenal cancer. There are currently no recommendations for how to prevent it.

Adrenocortical carcinoma often runs in families. If one family member has the disease, everyone in the family should have genetic testing. If you have an increased risk of ACC because of an inherited condition, ask your provider about regular screening for early detection.
