Transsphenoidal resection in Cushing's disease: undetectable serum cortisol as the definition of successful treatment.

Transsphenoidal resection in Cushing's disease: undetectable serum cortisol as the definition of successful treatment.

OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that in Cushing's disease, ACTH secretion from the normal pituitary surrounding an ACTH-secreting adenoma is inhibited and hence removal of the entire adenoma should result in an undetectable serum cortisol in the immediate post-operative period. DESIGN: A re...
