Background: Immune checkpoint therapy response rate in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is only ~15%. Glucocorticoid (GC) secretion is present in ~60% of tumours, associated with adverse outcome and has been associated with an immunologically cold tumoural microenvironment. On the other hand, activation of the Wnt/ß-Catenin pathway has been suggested to contribute to reduced immune infiltration.Aims: First, we aim to improve the understanding of cellu...
