Adrenal cortical cancer
Adrenal cortical (or adrenocortical) cancer is cancer that forms in the outer layer of the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are located in the abdomen and one gland sits atop each kidney. While adrenal cancer is quite rare — only about 600 new cases are diagnosed each year — and tends to be more treatable in children, it can be quite aggressive in adults, particularly if there is a recurrence.
The UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for patients with all stages of adrenal cortical cancer. Our patients receive all of their care from a team of top academic physicians.
