Важную роль в определении злокачественной природы новообразований надпочечников играют лучевые методы исследования. Чувствительность и специфичность этих методов крайне высоки. Вместе с тем, при высокой диагностической эффективности современных лучевых методов визуализации опухолей надпочечников, для постановки точного клинического диагноза также необходимо проведение гормональных исследований. Нарушения стероидного профиля мочи выявляются при различной патологии надпочечников (первичном гиперальдостеронизме, гиперкортицизме, врожденной гиперплазии коры надпочечников и адренокортикальном раке). Исследование стероидного профиля мочи у пациентов с диагностированными новообразованиями надпочечников предназначено в первую очередь для подтверждения или опровержения риска адренокортикального рака. При этом в вопросе точности и значимости исследований стероидного профиля мочи в медицинском сообществе к настоящему времени накопилось достаточное количество разногласий.</p></sec><sec><title>ЦЕЛЬ</title><p>ЦЕЛЬ. Исследование направлено на определение границ точности применения стероидного профиля мочи для диагностики адренокортикального рака.</p></sec><sec><title>МЕТОДЫ</title><p>МЕТОДЫ. Всего исследовались 62 пробы у 58 пациентов с морфологически подтвержденными новообразованиями надпочечников. Исследование носило характер слепого проспективного. Для повышения точности исследования из 58 больных были отобраны 30 пациентов с адренокортикальными аденомами (n=17) и адренокортикальным раком (n=13). Стероидный профиль мочи был изучен методом газовой хромато-масс-спектрометрии. В целях оценки информативности стероидного профиля проводилось определение чувствительности, специфичности и точности методики для диагностики адренокортикальной карциномы.</p></sec><sec><title>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ</title><p>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. Оценены возможности определения стероидного профиля мочи для диагностики адренокортикального рака. Чувствительность метода составила 46,2%, специфичность и точность — 70,6% и 60% соответственно. Наиболее достоверными маркерами адренокортикального рака являются тетрагидро-11-дезоксикортизол и дегидроэпиандростерон (38,5% наблюдений).</p></sec><sec><title>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ</title><p>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Настоящее исследование демонстрирует относительно невысокие показатели диагностической эффективности определения стероидного профиля мочи как метода первичной диагностики адренокортикального рака. Особенно это видно по сравнению с лучевыми методами диагностики. Интерпретация методики сложна и доступна лишь специалистам с чрезвычайно высокой квалификацией, что затрудняет распространение и широкое применение этого метода обследования в клинической практике. Вместе с тем определение стероидного профиля мочи в перспективе (после дополнительного изучения) может быть использовано как вспомогательный метод диагностики, в ряде случаев определяющей лечебную тактику у пациентов, перенесших адреналэктомию по поводу адренокортикального рака.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>BACKGROUND</title><p>BACKGROUND: X-ray diagnostics methods are important in detection of adrenal neoplasms malignant nature. The sensitivity and specificity of these methods are high enough. However the hormonal tests are also necessary to make an accurate clinical diagnosis with the high diagnostic efficiency of modern X-ray methods for adrenal tumors diagnosing. The urine steroid profile violations are detected with the adrenal glands various pathologies (primary hyperaldosteronism, hypercorticism, congenital hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex and adrenocortical cancer). Urine steroid profile tests in patients with diagnosed adrenal neoplasms are intended primarily to confirm or refute the adrenocortical cancer risk. At the same time in the medical community to date there are a number of disagreements accumulated regarding the accuracy and significance of the urine steroid profile tests.</p></sec><sec><title>AIMS</title><p>AIMS: The study aims to determine the urine steroid profile determination accuracy limits for the adrenocortical cancer diagnosis.</p></sec><sec><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total 62 samples were tested for urine steroid profile by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 58 patients had morphologically confirmed adrenal neoplasms. The study was blind prospective. To increase the study accuracy the 30 patients with adrenocortical adenomas (n = 17) and adrenocortical cancer (n = 13) were selected out of 58 tested persons. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the urine steroid profile were determined in order to assess information content of such method for the adrenocortical carcinoma diagnosis.</p></sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title><p>RESULTS: The possibilities of the urine steroid profile determining for the adrenocortical cancer diagnosis are estimated. The method sensitivity was 46.2%, specificity and accuracy were 70.6% and 60% respectively. The most reliable of adrenocortical cancer markers were tetrahydro-11-deoxycortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (38.5% of cases) increasing concentrations.</p></sec><sec><title>CONCLUSIONS</title><p>CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrates relatively low diagnostic efficacy of the urine steroid profile as a primary diagnostic method for adrenocortical cancer determining. This is especially evident in comparison with X-ray diagnostic methods. The technique interpretation is complex and accessible only to specialists with extremely high qualifications. Such fact complicates the distribution and widespread use in clinical practice of this testing method. At the same time the urine steroid profile determination in the future (after additional study) may be apply as an auxiliary diagnostic method which in some cases determines the treatment tactics for patients undergoing adrenocortical cancer adrenalectomy treatment.KEYWORDS: dPheochromocytoma; intraoperative hemodynamic instability; laparoscopic adrenalectomy; Endovascular embolization of preoperative; сase report.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>адренокортикальный рак</kwd><kwd>стероидный профиль мочи</kwd><kwd>газовая хромато-масс-спектрометрия</kwd><kwd>стероидогенез</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>adrenocortical cancer</kwd><kwd>steroid profile of urine</kwd><kwd>gas chromatography-mass spectrometry</kwd><kwd>steroidogenesis</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при финансовом обеспечении Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The study was carried out with the financial support of St. Petersburg State University.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Шафигуллина З.
