The Register
A number of leading
European endocrinologists teamed
together to apply to the European Union (EU)
call under the Public Health Program and succeeded in getting funding for 3
years, to set up a European Registry on Cushing’s Syndrome (the acronym of
which is ERCUSYN).
Among the aims of the registry are to increase the awareness among general practitioners or primary care physicians throughout Europe, to make an earlier diagnosis and hopefully reduce the long term prognosis and “normalize” the increased morbidity and mortality associated with this syndrome if it is not treated correctly, prevent the impairment in Quality of Life associated with this syndrome, and set up European guidelines for diagnosis and therapeutic strategy, etc.
From the beginning it was clear that this should be a European initiative and currently involves more than 30 colleagues from over 20 countries; the European Society of Endocrinology is an associated partner.
