(2009) In The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism 94(5). p.17-1509- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The Acromegaly Consensus Group reconvened in November 2007 to update guidelines for acromegaly management.
PARTICIPANTS: The meeting participants comprised 68 pituitary specialists, including neurosurgeons and endocrinologists with extensive experience treating patients with acromegaly. EVIDENCE/CONSENSUS PROCESS: Goals of treatment and the appropriate imaging and biochemical and clinical monitoring of patients with acromegaly were enunciated, based on the available published evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: The group developed a consensus on the approach to managing acromegaly including appropriate roles for neurosurgery, medical therapy, and radiation therapy in the management of these patients.
