Abstract

Introduction: Cushing's Syndrome is a rare and complex endocrine condition characterized by a chronic increase in cortisol levels in the body, which can result in a variety of significant physical and metabolic symptoms. Objective: This study aims to explore recent advances and discoveries in the diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's Syndrome. Methods: A literature review of the last 15 years was carried out, including original studies and reviews, with specific inclusion criteria to address Cushing's Syndrome. Results and Discussion: The etiology of Cushing's Syndrome is multifaceted, reflecting the complexity of this endocrine condition. Standard diagnostic methods for Cushing's Syndrome include laboratory tests to evaluate cortisol and ACTH levels in blood, urine and saliva, as well as imaging tests to locate the source of hormone overproduction. Therapeutic options for Cushing's Syndrome, as evidenced by the review of current studies, present a wide range of approaches, including surgery, drug therapy and radiotherapy Conclusion: The review emphasizes the importance of education and awareness about Cushing's Syndrome among healthcare professionals. health, patients and caregivers, in order to facilitate early diagnosis, access to appropriate treatment and necessary emotional support.
