Description
Ranee Joy Jacobo and four colleagues follow a young Filipina who survived a rare adrenal cancer for over a decade despite repeated spread, in a 2026 case report. Her nonfunctioning oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma was first removed laparoscopically at age 30, with tumor cells at the cut edge. The cancer returned locally after two and a half years and was cut out again, followed by radiation and a drug she later stopped.
Later scans caught single metastases in the liver and near the navel, each removed with clean margins; chemotherapy stopped early over hearing damage. More than ten years on, she shows no active disease on scans. The authors credit repeated surgery and team-based decisions.
