In the current work, we aimed to evaluate the association of clinical data of Cushing's disease (CD) patients with mutation status and to study USP8-related molecular mechanisms connected to the regulation of corticotropinoma growth and activity. 35 CD patients were enrolled; the sequencing of exon 14 in revealed variants in eighteen adenomas, two of which were described for the first time in CD. variants were more common in women (94% vs.

These tumors can occur with NENs from other sites, which often require total-body [68Ga]-DOTA-peptides PET/CT. This study aimed to assess the utility of [68Ga]-DOTA-peptide PET/CT in imaging parathyroid NENs and to evaluate the underlying mechanisms.

The goal was to find a combination of predictors that can forecast the remission of CD after TSS. A total of 101 patients with CD who had undergone TSS were included.
