[Adrenocortical carcinoma and pregnancy].
Annales D'endocrinologie 2016 June
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare cancer with a poor but heterogeneous prognosis. These tumours are more frequently encountered in women, sometimes very young and may be diagnosed in women in their child bearing years or already pregnant. Several clinical data have indicated that the secretion and or proliferation of adrenocortical tumors may be affected by the hormonal context of pregnancy. In this review, we will examine the link between ACC and pregnancy in two main aspects. We will first consider the situation of a pregnant woman with a clinical suspicion of adrenocortical carcinoma: which diagnostic procedures will be useful and safe for the foetus? What are the therapeutic options? What is the prognosis if the diagnosis is confirmed? In a second part, we will examine the possible risk of mothering a child in a patient previously treated for an ACC. The data shown here were obtained from studies carried out in a tertiary reference medical centre in Paris (Hôpital Cochin) and from the European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumor (ENS@T) database of adrenocortical carcinoma.
