Abstract
Background Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm with a high recurrence rate. This study aimed to assess the role of surgery in the clinical management of recurrent ACC. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched, and the hazard ratios were pooled. Results Patients who underwent resection for recurrence had significantly better OS or OS after recurrence than those who received only nonsurgical treatments (HR 0.34, p < 0.001). Prognostic factors were associated with decreased OS after recurrence, including multiple recurrence (HR 3.23, p = 0.001), shorter disease-free interval (HR 2.94, p < 0.001), stage III-IV of the original tumor (HR 6.17, p = 0.001), sex of male (HR 1.35, p = 0.04), and initial non-R0 resection (HR 2.13, p = 0.001). Prolonged OS after recurrence was observed in those who experienced incomplete resection (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.31–0.52, I2 = 53%) compared with patients who only received nonsurgical treatments. In the reoperated group, patients who underwent complete resection of recurrence had a prolonged OS after recurrence compared with those who underwent incomplete resection (HR 0.23, p = 0.004). Conclusions We confirmed the role of reoperation in the clinical management of recurrent ACC. Select patients might benefit from debulking surgery. The preoperative evaluation of the complete resection of the recurrence is the key means to decide whether patients should undergo surgery. Other prognostic factors associated with prolonged OS include single recurrence site, relatively longer disease-free interval, stage I-II of the original tumor, and female sex.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy with a high recurrence rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of surgery for patients with local or distant recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma and to attempt to identify prognostic features related to survival benefit in patients undergoing resection of recurrence. METHODS The data of 47 patients with recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma in West China Hospital, Sichuan, China, between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively collected. These patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether resection of recurrence was performed. The correlation between overall survival after recurrence and reoperation was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier and univariate/multivariate Cox regression methods were used to identify any prognostic factors. RESULTS Included in our study were 21 patients who underwent reoperation and 26 patients who underwent nonoperative treatments were. The operation group had a better median overall survival after recurrence than the nonoperation group (19 months versus 6.5 months; P = .007). In the operated group, disease-free interval >12 months (P = .002), complete resection of recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma (P = .041), and R0 resection of the primary tumor (P = .005) were associated with prolonged survival after recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Reoperation plays an important role in the management of selected patients with recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma. Disease-free interval, preoperative evaluation for complete resection, and R0 resection of the primary tumor are important prognostic characteristics for the resection of recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma. The overall survival after recurrence was significantly improved for patients who had a disease-free interval >12 months, and initial R0 resection or complete resection of recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma is feasible.
