Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to compile a collection of articles on the latest and most relevant research directions in the field of acromegaly.
Acromegaly is an endocrine disease mainly caused by growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma. Persistent excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) and its peripheral mediator, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), results in numerous complications, including those related to the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems.
Personalized diagnostic and therapeutic management is essential in providing care to each patient with acromegaly.
We invite specialists in the field of neuroendocrinology to share their experiences and observations. Original papers and review articles are welcome.
