Cushing's syndrome remains one of the great diagnostic challenges to internists and endocrinologists. Urologists have the primary role in the treatment of many of the forms of Cushing's syndrome, especially adrenal tumors and micronodular hyperplasia. As we continue to gain experience with Cushing's disease treated with pituitary surgery and with etopic ACTH syndrome and the other forms of Cushing's syndrome, urologists are likely to become even more involved in the therapy of all types of Cushing's syndrome.
库欣综合征仍然是内科医生和内分泌学家面临的重大诊断挑战之一。泌尿外科医生在许多形式的库欣综合征治疗中发挥着主要作用，尤其是肾上腺肿瘤和微结节性增生。随着我们在垂体手术治疗库欣病、异位促肾上腺皮质激素（ACTH）综合征及其他形式的库欣综合征方面不断积累经验，泌尿外科医生可能会更多地参与到各类库欣综合征的治疗中。
