Thanks for all you do Mary! Couldn’t ask for a better voice for Cushings! You are truly amazing.

📰 Tumors in Cushing’s Patients Have Distinct Genetic Profiles
Based on their genetic profile, researchers were able to cluster tumors into three distinct subgroups... Collectively, the findings add new clues to the molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of benign pituitary tumors. They also provide new ground for developing targeted therapies, the researchers said.
🖤 In Memory: Kate Myers
Kate (Fairley on the Cushing's Help message boards) was only 46 when she died on June 23, 2014.
🖤 In Memory of Samantha Cohn June 20, 2015
Juilliard graduate Samantha Cohn, 34, crawled out a window in her 16th-floor apartment at West 71st Street and Broadway and jumped at 10:10 a.m. Her mother told investigators she had been diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome, police sources said.

Dr. Theodore Friedman hosts Jay Khorsandi, DDS from Snore Experts for a fascinating webinar on the relationship between Sleep Apnea, Snoring, Weight Gain and Daytime Fatigue.
❓Comment added to Guest Question: Is Itching Common with Cushing’s Syndrome?
Were your itching, flushing and elevated BP episodes (cyclic) or there all of the time?
✍️ Comment added Pituitary Dysfunction as a Result of Traumatic Brain Injury
A “friend” pushed me and I hit my head on a radiator and broke it and a few months after a tumor grew. I’ve been having symptoms ever since. Could I go after here and get compensation for medical care I need now?
📰 Cushing’s Patients at Risk of Life-threatening Pulmonary Fungal Infection
Cushing’s disease patients who exhibit nodules or masses in their lungs should be thoroughly investigated to exclude fungal infection with Cryptococcus neoformans, a study from China suggests. While rare, the infection can be life-threatening, showing a particularly worse prognosis in patients with fluid infiltration in their lungs or with low white blood ce […]
📰 Cushing’s syndrome caused by ACTH-producing thymic typical carcinoid with local invasion and regional lymph node metastasis: a case report
Ectopic ACTH-producing thymic carcinoid tumors are rare, but often behave aggressively with local invasion and distant metastasis. We herein report a case of ACTH-producing thymic typical carcinoid tumor with lymph node metastasis treated by surgery and postoperative radiation therapy.
🖤In Memory: Sarah Fraik
Sarah had surgery to remove a tumor from her pituitary gland in the hopes of treating her Cushing's Disease. She died on June 13, 2011 after a brief illness at the age of 28.
📰 Radiation to the Whole Pituitary Compartment Effective at Controlling Cushing’s
Radiation therapy targeting the entire sella — the compartment where the pituitary gland resides at the base of the brain — is effective at controlling Cushing’s disease and should be considered for patients with suspected invasive adenoma tumors, a new study shows.
