Overview: Adrenal Cortical Cancer
How Many People Get Adrenal Cancer?

Adrenal cancer is very rare. The exact number found in the United States is not certain. It is probably about 300 per year. The average age of those found with adrenal cancer is around 45 to 50, but it can happen at any age, even in children. It seems to occur more often in women.
