New aspects in the diagnosis and treatment of cushing disease

Cushing disease which is caused by the excessive production of ACTH is a rare and complex endocrine disorder that still represents a major challenge for the physician in terms of accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment. Diagnosing Cushing syndrome and its etiology is an elaborate procedure and no...
