Mitotane is used to treat cancer of the adrenal glands (adrenocortical carcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. This medicine acts on a part of the body called the adrenal cortex. Mitotane reduces the amount of steroids (cortisone-like hormones) that are produced by the adrenal cortex. These hormones are important for various functions of the body, including growth. However, too much of these hormones can cause problems.
