A team of investigators measured concentrations of 5 corticosteroid hormones in the keratin matrix of patients with adrenal incidentalomas with or without cortisol autonomy.
A team of investigators assessed the ability of computed tomographic-derived, 3-dimensional volumetry to predict autonomous cortisol secretion among patients with adrenal adenomas.
Malignant neuroendocrine pulmonary tumors associated with Cushing syndrome are often treated with surgical removal. Researchers sought ways to predict outcomes and potentially lung-sparing surgical methods.
The complexity of Cushing syndrome often makes diagnosis difficult. Researchers sought to create a diagnostic tool that could determine which patients may be at risk for developing the disease.
Adrenal masses and people who may have Cushing syndrome are often evaluated with a dexamethasone suppression test (DST), but false positives occur. Researchers examined whether free cortisol assessment during DST would aid in diagnosis.
