Effectiveness of medical treatment for Cushing ’s syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThis meta-analysis shows that medication induces cortisol normalization effectively in a large percentage of patients. Medical treatment for Cushing ’s disease patients is thus a reasonable option in case of a contraindication for surgery, a recurrence, or in patients choosing not to have surgery. When experiencing side effects or no treatment effect, an alternate medical therapy or combination therapy can be considered.
