Title: Newly developed hypertension as an early marker of recurrence of adrenocortical carcinoma with high renin expression. Author: Wen MJ, Lin YF, Chen JS. Journal: Int J Urol; 2008 Jun; 15(6):540-2. PubMed ID: 18489644. Abstract: Adrenocortical carcinoma can recur frequently after successful surgery but no adequate markers can detect this recurrence. Here, we present a recurrence of adrenocortical carcinoma with a high renin expression, after successful surgery, where hypertension has developed again. Tumor recurrence was observed via (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and coregistered computed tomography. Based on our findings, follow-up blood pressure assessment may effectively predict the recurrence of adrenocortical carcinoma.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
