A positron emission tomography (PET)-based imaging technique is comparable to standard MRI in its ability to find small pituitary gland tumors related to Cushing’s disease, a study reports. While both techniques correctly identified the location of the tumors, called small pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), for most study participants, neither was able to do so in […] The post Imaging technique nearly matches MRI in detecting Cushing’s tumors appeared first on Cushing's Disease ...| Cushing's Disease News – The Web's Daily Resource for Cushing's Disease News
Using precise, image-guided techniques for the delivery of radiotherapy can help control Cushing’s disease in cases where surgery to remove disease-causing tumors proves impossible or ineffective, a study reports. This type of stereotactic radiotherapy prevented further tumor growth in nearly 95% of participants and helped several reach normal levels of cortisol. Using modern techniques and […] The post Radiotherapy helps prevent further tumor growth in Cushing’s disease appeared first ...| Cushing's Disease News – The Web's Daily Resource for Cushing's Disease News
