Biopsy-proven primary or recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma considered surgically
resectable at presentation or potentially resectable following an initial response to
chemotherapy.

least one week. Patients do not need to be off mitotane therapy prior to starting this
protocol.

WBC greater 3,000/mm(3); Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm(3); Creatinine clearance
greater than 50 ml/min; bilirubin less than 1.5 mg/dl; serum transaminase less than 2
times normal.
