Gigantism and Acromegaly brings together pituitary experts, taking
readers from bench research, to genetic analysis, clinical
analysis, and new therapeutic approaches. This book serves as a
reference for growth hormone over-secretion and its diagnosis and
treatment for endocrinologists, pediatricians, internists, and
neurosurgeons, and for geneticists. Pharmaceutical companies may
use it as a reference for drug development and research. Students,
residents and fellows in medicine and endocrinology and genetics
will also find it valuable as it provides a single up-to-date
review of the molecular biology of gigantism and acromegaly as well
as recommended approaches to evaluation and management. Acromegaly
is a rare pituitary disorder that slowly changes its adult victim's
appearance over time: larger hands and feet, bigger jaw, forehead,
nose, and lips. Generally, a benign pituitary tumor is the cause
and symptoms of acromegaly can vary from patient to patient, making
a diagnosis difficult and prolonging suffering for years. Early
detection is key in the management of acromegaly as the pathologic
effects of increased growth hormone (GH) production are progressive
and can be life-threatening as the result of associated
cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory disorders and
malignancies.
