"Cushing's Syndrome is a welcome additon to the literature on a
subject that remains among the most difficult and challenging in
endocrinology. [...] well-presented review of the clinical
presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of Cushing's syndrome and
was written by some of the leading experts in the field. ...the
audience for this book is not experts in the field but rather
fellows-in-training, general practitioners, and endocrinologists in
practice. I recommend it to them wholeheartedly. I also would
suggest this book to patients with Cushing's syndrome as well as to
academic physicians who are interested in the clinical and
molecular investigation of this disorder, both as a first step and
as a guide to the intricacies and controversies surrounding the
diagnosis and treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in
humans."
