Do I need to undergo chemotherapy after taking Mitotane?

Mitotane (Mitotane) is mainly used to treat adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Both medication and chemotherapy are options for post-operative cancer treatment, but they may be more appropriate in different situations. For patients with ACC, surgery is often the first choice of treatment, especially if the cancer has not spread to other areas. When surgery cannot completely remove the tumor, or the tumor has spread to other tissues, mitotane is often used as part of postoperative adjuvant therapy to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. For those tumors that have spread to other tissues or organs, surgical removal often does not completely cure the disease. In this case, chemotherapy may be used to control tumor growth and reduce symptoms.
