Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how the size of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas at diagnosis affects various characteristics of patients with acromegaly, including clinical, laboratory, and treatment outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed data from 117 patients, categorizing them based on adenoma size and found that larger tumors (≥20 mm) were linked to higher rates of complications and poorer treatment responses compared to smaller tumors (<20 mm).
- The study concluded that smaller adenomas (under 20 mm) are associated with lower morbidity and better treatment efficacy, while larger adenomas exhibit similar clinical issues regardless of size.
