What Is Cushing's Disease?
10. Cushing’s Disease Prognosis
Treating Cushing’s disease is imperative. A failure to do so leads to, at the very least, serious illness. It can also result in death. When surgical treatment is successful, full recovery is possible. It is important to note, however, that the tumor can return.
If you experience symptoms of Cushing’s disease, it is important to contact your doctor to begin the process of diagnosis as soon as possible. Likewise, if you’ve had a pituitary tumor removed, you need to be on the lookout for a return of symptoms and contact your physician immediately should they recur.
