Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive cancer that originates in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney. These glands produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism and stress response. ACC can lead to an overproduction of hormones, causing symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and changes in mood. Diagnosis of ACC typically involves imaging tests like CT scans or MRI to identify tumors, along with blood tests to assess hormone levels. Treatment often includes surgical removal of the tumor, and in some cases, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be recommended to manage the disease.
