temozolomide and Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion

temozolomide has been researched along with Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion in 11 studies

Pituitary ACTH Hypersecretion: A disease of the PITUITARY GLAND characterized by the excess amount of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secreted. This leads to hypersecretion of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) by the ADRENAL GLANDS resulting in CUSHING SYNDROME.
