title: [Clinical recurrence of Cushing syndrome without evidence of tumor recurrence: radical hypophysectomy?].
abstract: Outcome following radiation therapy for hormonally-active Cushing adenoma is reported. Conventional radiation using 20 to 30 grays improved mass and hormone level in 30 to 80% of the patient. Gamma-knife radiosurgery was at least as effective. These results are discussed in this review.
