Study summary

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and heterogeneous malignancy with poor prognosis. Surgical resection of the tumor is the treatment of choice. However, even after complete resection more than 80 % of patients will experience recurrence of disease. Therefore, new treatment options are urgently needed. This pre-clinical study try to lay the foundations for a successful immunotherapy in patients with ACC.
