Fig. 1From: Steroid metabolites for diagnosing and predicting clinicopathological features in cortisol-producing adrenocortical carcinomaa Steroid pathway diagram indicating the observed changes in steroid metabolite concentrations in ACC patients compared to CPA patients. DHEAS: dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. b Comparison of indicated serum concentrations of steroids and urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion between ACC and CPA. DHEAS: dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. ACC: adrenocortical carcinomas, CPA: cortisol-producing adenomas. P < 0.05 was defined as significant. *: < 0.05, **: < 0.01, *** < 0.001, NS: nonsignificantBack to article page
