Comparison of clinical, hormonal, pathological and treatment outcomes of ectopic Cushing’s syndrome by sex: results of a multicenter study
Objective
To compare clinical and hormonal data, neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) localization, treatment, and survival outcomes in ectopic Cushing’s syndrome (ECS) by sex.
Methods
Eleven experienced centers from our country participated in this retrospective study. The clinical and hormonal features, tumor imaging, pathological results, treatment modalities, and disease courses of the patients were evaluated.
Results
28 female and 26 male patients with ECS were compared. The mean age at diagnosis, clinical characteristics, and hormonal evaluation results were similar. However, insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus (p = 0.04) and osteoporosis with fractures were more common in males (p = 0.03). While more patients with increased DHEA-S levels than the upper limit of normal were found to be higher in females, central hypothyroidism were higher in males (p = 0.02). At the diagnosis, 36 NENs (68% of females and 69% of males) were localized. Small cell lung carcinoma was higher in males (p = 0.02), and the frequency of other NENs was not different. Curative surgery was performed on 61% of females and 46% of males. Tumor size, Ki-67 labeling index, positive ACTH immunostaining, local lymph node and distant metastasis rates were similar in both sexes. In the follow-up, the tumor became visible in 7 of 10 females and 4 of 8 males after medical treatment and/or bilateral adrenalectomy. The remission rates (65% of females, 62% of males) and NEN-related death rates (14% of females, 30% of males) were similar.
Conclusion
While ECS has a similar disease course in many aspects in males and females, hyperglycemia and osteoporosis are more severe in males.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
