It reduces the growth rate and spread of tumors by inhibiting hormone secretion from the adrenal gland and having cytotoxic effects. Mitotane not only directly targets adrenal tumor cells, but also has certain immunomodulatory effects, which may have a positive impact on the overall survival rate of patients. Usually, doctors will develop an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's specific conditions, including medication dosage and course of treatment.

Mitotane indications mainly include the treatment of unresectable adrenocortical cancer, metastatic adrenal cancer and certain endocrine diseases. During the use of mitotane, patients may experience some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc. Therefore, liver and kidney function and related biochemical indicators need to be regularly monitored during treatment to ensure safe and effective medication.
