Abstract
The role of radiation therapy in the management of adrenal cortical carcinoma has had little documentation in the literature. Fourteen patients with this malignancy were given 18 courses of palliative, preoperative or postoperative irradiation. The clinical results are presented. Significant palliation was obtained in all patients along with occasional long term local control of unresectable lesions.
