Review of a database established in 1997 has provided usual insights into changes and advancements in acromegaly treatment patterns in Spain over the last three decades. It found that, not surprisingly, the use of radiation therapy and dopamine agonists has decreased dramatically, whereas use of somatostatin analogues and pegvisomant has increased. Surgical rates have been maintained and is still the mainstay of treatment. There has been a steady improvement in patient outcomes, with disease now controlled in over 70% of patients.
We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
Thank you for your support.
