Biopsy diagnosis (BD) is seldom required for the suspicion of secondary malignancy.

Only patients with non\u2010metastatic ACC, whose method of diagnosis and local disease extension were reported, and received a surgical adrenalectomy with curative intent were included. Patients were divided by disease stage into T1\/T2, T3, and T4 groups. A propensity score match was applied to those with T1\/T2 disease who received CD versus BD and the Kaplan\u2013Meier method was used to compare OS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 4000 patients with ACC were reported in the database, 1410 met selection criteria. Eight hundred and thirty patients had T1\/T2, 365 had T3, and 162 had T4 ACC. Of patients with T1\/T2 ACC, 742 (89.4%) received CD versus 88 (11.6%) with BD. A propensity score was calculated per a multivariable regression model with 79 patients matched from each group. Exact matching was applied for margin status and adjuvant therapies. Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis showed a significant difference in median OS between CD versus BD patients in the matched data set (103.89\u2009\u00b1\u200915.65 vs. 54.93\u2009\u00b1\u20098.22 months; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001).
