Molecular expression profiles were investigated by immunohistochemistry. The prognostic significance of 12 gross and histologic parameters in 67 primary ACCs was evaluated. Morphologic and protein expression patterns were correlated with disease-specific survival (DSS). Univariate influence of prognostic factors on DSS was analyzed by log-rank test and multivariate analysis by Cox regression.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS: The median follow-up period was 4.7 years. Significant predictors of DSS included distant metastasis at time of initial presentation; venous, capsular, and adjacent organ invasion; tumor necrosis, mitotic rate, atypical mitosis, and mdm-2 overexpression. Five-year DSS by number (one to six) of adverse histologic parameters was as follows: one to two, 84%; three to four, 37%; more than four, 9% (P = .005).The phenotype Ki-67(\u2212)p53(\u2212)mdm-2(+)cyclinD1(\u2212)Bcl-2(\u2212)p21(\u2212)p27(+) was observed in 83% of normal and 3% of malignant adrenal tissue (P = .01). Molecular phenotypic expression was more heterogeneous in malignant than in normal (10 v five phenotypes) adrenal tissue.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSION: Meticulous morphologic evaluation, mitotic count, and tumor stage are essential in determining prognosis for patients with ACC. Multimolecular phenotyping demonstrates that the molecular complexity and heterogeneity of these neoplasms are such that targeted therapy needs to be patient specific.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2002.20.4.941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,24]],"date-time":"2017-02-24T08:46:55Z","timestamp":1487926015000},"page":"941-950","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":339,"title":["Adrenocortical Carcinoma: Clinical, Morphologic, and Molecular Characterization"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Stojadinovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald A.","family":"Ghossein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Hoos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aviram","family":"Nissan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Marshall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Dudas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Cordon-Cardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David P.","family":"Jaques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murray F.","family":"Brennan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Surgery and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"233","reference":[{"key":"R1-103322","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199004263221705"},{"key":"R2-103322","unstructured":"Icard P, Chapuis Y, Andreassian B, et al: Adrenocortical carcinoma in surgically treated patients: A retrospective study on 156 cases by the French Association of Endocrine Surgery.
