Background and Aim: The two adrenal glands, each weighing about four grams, are located at the upper pole of the two kidneys. These two glands, like other parts of the body, can become cancerous. Common methods of adrenal cancer treatment including surgery, pharmacotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have side effects. On the other hand, the use of medicinal plants has a long history in human history. Regarding to this ancient background, the use of plants in the prevention and treatment of diseases has maintained its place in many societies and cultures. The aim of this study is to provide a list of effective plants in the treatment of adrenal cancer. Methods: In this study, an attempt has been made to provide a list of effective plants in the treatment of adrenal cancer by collecting information published in authoritative scientific journals. The USDA database was used to learn about flavonoid compounds in plants. Finally, the Plant List Site was used to determine the families of each of the plant species found. Ethical Considerations: In the current research, the ethical aspects of library study, including the authenticity of texts, honesty and trustworthiness, have been observed. Results: A total of 21 plant species and 17 families were obtained that appear to be effective in treating and partially preventing the progression of adrenal cancer. These 17 families include Actinidiaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Anacardiaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Betulaceae, Celastraceae, Cucurbitaceae, Ericaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Juglandaceae, Lauraceae, Malvaceae, Rosaceae, Solanaceae and Theaceae. Conclusion: According to this review study, it seems that 21 plant species are effective in the treatment of adrenal cancer, of course, it is suggested that more extensive clinical studies be performed on each of these species to understand the possible side effects of them. It is also better to determine the nature of each plant and prescribe a plant species appropriate to each person's nature. In addition, the conditions of different people, including children and adolescents, pregnant women, athletes, the elderly and people with certain diseases, must be considered in order to use the appropriate plant species in their treatment.
