Cushing’s Syndrome outlines the overarching epidemiology of Cushing’s as a genetic endocrine disease including valuable statistics on the current incidence and prevalence of the disease. It presents an extensive discussion of the signs and symptoms, including an in-depth discussion of the co-morbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, infections amenorrhea, and infertility. Chapters discuss the surgical treatment of Cushing’s, including indications, approaches (e.g., transsphenoidal, craniotomy, adrenalectomy), risks, and complications. Chapters also review the medical treatment, including indications, results, and side effects, and radiotherapy/radiosurgery, including indications, results, risks, and complications. The book also features a chapter offering insight into the patient’s perspective, coping with Cushing’s, quality of life, and psychosomatic issues. Cushing’s Syndrome is essential reading for the wide range of physicians who treat patients with Cushing’s Syndrome symptoms, as well as all those biomedical researchers who are investigating the etiology and mechanisms of seemingly rare endocrine disorders, and rare genetic diseases in general.
