This month holds special significance as we focus on raising awareness for Cushing’s syndrome, a condition often overlooked but deeply impactful. Cushing’s syndrome is closely tied to pituitary health, as it is often caused by pituitary tumours that lead to the chronic overproduction of cortisol.
Throughout this month, we’ll be shedding light on the challenges patients face and the crucial role early detection plays in transforming lives.
Prof. Elena Valassi takes us on a journey through “Understanding Cortisol Physiology: From Physiological Secretion to Hypercortisolism”, offering valuable insights into how the body’s cortisol balance affects health and well-being.
Prof. Ashley Grossman delves into the impact of disrupted cortisol circadian rhythm on health, with a focus on Cushing’s syndrome, and how hormone imbalances can throw off the body’s natural rhythms.
Prof. Iacopo Chiodini breaks down the complexities of Cushing’s syndrome, and why it’s so closely tied to pituitary health. Cushing’s syndrome is often caused by pituitary tumours, which disrupt hormone balance and lead to chronic excess cortisol production.
Prof. Antoine Tabarin dives deep into the power of early detection in Cushing’s syndrome. Early diagnosis is a game-changer – it not only improves patient outcomes but also prevents long-term health complications, giving individuals the chance to regain control of their lives. He also explains the crucial role of a multidisciplinary approach in Cushing’s syndrome care, ensuring that every aspect of a patient’s journey is addressed, leading to more effective treatments and better long-term recovery.
