Recommends annual GH and IGF-1 reassessment following medication withdrawal to assess the efficacy of radiation therapy in patients with acromegaly. Use during long-term follow-up after radiotherapy when evaluating biochemical control after a planned…
Quellsprache: Englisch
Recommends annual hormonal testing of patients following radiotherapy to monitor for hypopituitarism and other delayed radiation effects. Use in survivorship care after RT when patients have received pituitary or hypothalamic RT/SRT.
Quellsprache: Englisch
This skill advises against measuring GH or IGF-1 in pregnant patients with acromegaly because placental GH variant interferes with assay interpretation. Use when evaluating hormone testing in a pregnant acromegaly patient.
Quellsprache: Englisch
The guideline recommends against routine preoperative medical therapy (e.g., somatostatin receptor ligands) solely to improve postoperative biochemical control in acromegaly. Consider this when planning transsphenoidal surgery and evaluating whether to…
Quellsprache: Englisch
Recommends against using random GH levels to diagnose acromegaly because of pulsatile secretion. Use when a clinician considers ordering a random GH test to evaluate for acromegaly in a patient with suggestive features.
Quellsprache: Englisch
This skill advises against routine abdominal ultrasound to screen for gallstone disease in patients receiving somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) such as octreotide LAR or lanreotide autogel. Consider this recommendation when planning surveillance imaging…
Quellsprache: Englisch
Suggests screening for colon neoplasia with colonoscopy at the time of acromegaly diagnosis to establish baseline colorectal cancer risk. Trigger when a patient receives a new diagnosis of acromegaly (elevated IGF‑1 with lack of GH suppression after oral…
