Deutschbein T , Unger N , Mann K , Petersenn S

Objectives: The insulin tolerance test (ITT) is considered the gold standard to evaluate corticotropic function in patients with suspected pituitary disease, but is limited by several contraindications. As an alternative, we evaluated the diagnostic value of basal cortisol in serum and saliva.Methods: volunteers (V) and 61 patients with suspected pituitary disease (P) were enrolled into this study. Basal serum and saliva samples were collected simultaneo...

Objective: The role of surgery for recurrent adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) is not well defined. Therefore, we evaluated the outcome after surgery for tumor recurrence in patients from the German ACC Registry.Methods: Only patients with first recurrence after initial R0 resection were investigated. Progressionfree and overall survival (PFS, OS) after first recurrence were analyzed by KaplanMeier method. Cox proportional hazards regression mo...
