Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill recommends localizing and resecting ectopic ACTH-secreting tumors with node dissection when ectopic ACTH secretion is suspected or confirmed. Clinical triggers include unexplained persistent hypercortisolism after pituitary surgery, elevated ACTH…
Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill recommends measuring serum cortisol or urine free cortisol off-medication at 6- to 12-month intervals to assess radiation therapy effect in patients with Cushing's syndrome undergoing or post-radiotherapy. It is also indicated when patients on…
Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill suggests medical therapy to block aberrant hormone receptors for bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (BMAH) when surgery is not preferred or feasible. Consider this approach in patients with confirmed BMAH and evidence of aberrant hormone…
Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill recommends that a multidisciplinary team, including an experienced endocrinologist, incorporates patient values and preferences while providing education about treatment options for Cushing’s syndrome. Use when planning treatment for a CS patient…
Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill provides structured education to patients and families about Cushing's syndrome pathophysiology, treatment options, and post-remission expectations. It is triggered when a clinician encounters a new Cushing's syndrome patient or family needing…
Langue du texte source : anglais
This skill suggests perioperative prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism in patients with Cushing's syndrome undergoing surgery. Use when preparing a CS patient for any surgical procedure; triggers include "CS patient pre-op", "Cushing's syndrome surgery",…
