Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. The effective treatment for advanced cancer remains unknown. A 61-year-old woman underwent CyberKnife treatment on a large adrenocortical carcinoma and tumor emboli in both pulmonary arteries. Follow-up positron emission tomography scanning with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) revealed that the FDG uptake was greatly decreased in all the tumors, and the hormone levels were also decreased. CyberKnife is a safe and effective treatment option for the non-operative large advanced adrenocortical carcinoma.
肾上腺皮质癌是一种预后较差的罕见恶性肿瘤。晚期癌症的有效治疗方法尚不清楚。一名61岁女性接受了射波刀治疗，治疗对象为一个大的肾上腺皮质癌以及双侧肺动脉的肿瘤栓子。后续使用氟脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）进行的正电子发射断层扫描显示，所有肿瘤中的FDG摄取量均大幅下降，激素水平也有所降低。射波刀是治疗无法手术的大型晚期肾上腺皮质癌的一种安全有效的治疗选择。
