Javier Estrada,Mauro Boronat,Mercedes Mielgo,Rosa Magallón,Isabel Millán,Santiago Diez,Tomás Lucas,Barceló B +7 more
TL;DR: Pituitary irradiation is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients with Cushing's disease in whom transsphenoidal surgery is unsuccessful and none of the 25 patients had a relapse of Cushing't disease after remission was achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acromegaly Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACROQOL) a new health-related quality of life questionnaire for patients with acromegaly: development and psychometric properties
Susan M. Webb,Luis Prieto,Xavier Badia,M. Albareda,Miguel Catalá,Sonia Gaztambide,Tomás Lucas,C. Páramo,Antonio Picó,A. Lucas,Irene Halperin,Gabriel Obiols,R. Astorga +12 more

Journal ArticleDOI
The complete normalization of the adrenocortical function as the criterion of cure after transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing's disease.
Javier Estrada,José García-Uría,Cristina Lamas,José J Alfaro,Tomás Lucas,Santiago Diez,Salto L,Barceló B +7 more
TL;DR: The complete normalization of the adrenocortical function, which is always preceded by postsurgical hypocortisolism, is associated with a very low recurrence risk and should be considered, in the main criterion of surgical cure in Cushing's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of visual and endocrine function following transsphenoidal surgery of large nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas
Mónica Marazuela,B. Astigarraga,A. Vicente,Javier Estrada,C. Cuerda,José García-Uría,Tomás Lucas +6 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest the presence of viable pituitary tissue in these cases and point out that, in some instances, the mechanism of hypopituitarism may be compression of the portal circulation, rather than destruction of the normal pituitsary gland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrosal sinus sampling for diagnosis of Cushing's disease: evidence of false negative results
TL;DR: This study evaluates the results of IPS sampling in patients with Cushing's disease, and compares them with both imaging findings and transsphenoidal examination.
