Long-term treatment outcomes of acromegaly patients presenting biochemically-uncontrolled at a tertiary pituitary center
BMC Endocrine Disorders Aug 15, 2017
Carmichael JD, et al. – The purpose of this study was to analyze acromegaly treatment outcomes during long–term care at a specialized pituitary center in patients presenting with lack of biochemical control. In this observational study, researchers displayed that treatment outcomes of biochemically–uncontrolled acromegaly patients improve with directed care, particularly for those that initially present untreated. Moreover, patients often need multiple modalities of treatment, many of which are offered with the highest quality at specialized pituitary centers. Despite specialized care, some patients were not able to achieve biochemical control with methods of treatment that were available at the time of their treatment, indicating the need for additional treatment options.
