| Core Tip |
Acromegaly is caused by a pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) with excessive growth hormone (GH) production, leading to multisystem complications. Previous studies have identified predictors of poor prognosis, including tumor size, extensions, T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging hyperintensity, granulation density, and GH/insulin-like growth factor 1 levels. In this study, PitNET volume was associated with the need for higher-line therapy and showed a trend toward larger volumes in uncontrolled patients, suggesting that adenoma volume could be an additional prognostic factor in acromegaly. |
