Clinical trials: Pituitary Disease
Cushing Disease
Long-Term Follow-Up of Survivors of Pediatric Cushing Disease
Background: The pituitary gland produces hormones. A tumor in this gland can cause it to produce too much of the hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol in the body causes Cushing disease. This disease causes many problems.
