Mitotane has some effect in the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma, but the specific effect will be affected by a variety of factors.
Mitotane is able to interfere with the biosynthesis process of adrenal cortex cells and reduce the production of cortisol and other steroid hormones, thereby slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells. For patients with adrenocortical carcinoma, the objective response rate of mitotane ranges from 34% to 61%, with a median remission of 6 to 7 months.
Mitotane has a diuretic effect that helps clear fluid in the brain and relieves increased intracranial pressure caused by cerebral edema.
