overview

Join us for a live, hands-on, newsroom-style symposium on Cushing syndrome (CS) and acromegaly designed to foster audience participation and provide valuable insights from experts in the field. A faculty “anchor” and 2 faculty “reporters” will provide “breaking news” on diagnosis, current guideline recommendations, patient burden and quality of life, and recent data updates. In addition, chat with our “roving reporter” about your perspectives on the treatment of pituitary disorders and connect with fellow clinicians. Don’t miss out on this interactive and informative newsroom program!

This symposium will take place following the 19th International Pituitary Congress.
