The endogenous Cushing’s syndrome epidemiological forecast indicates that improved detection techniques and increasing awareness of the condition are likely to contribute to higher reported incidence rates. Cushing's disease accounts for about 80% of cases of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, according to Hirsch, Dania et al. (2018) and other researchers. It is considered the most prevalent form of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, with the annual incidence estimated to range from 1 in 588,235 to 833,333 individuals, as per Orphanet.

Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome Understanding: Disease Overview
Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome comprises a group of disorders caused by the overproduction of cortisol. When cortisol is produced in excess over an extended period, it can lead to a range of symptoms and health complications, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and weakened bones.
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is due to problems within the body's own cortisol-producing system, unlike in exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which results from taking corticosteroid medications for a longer duration. Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome can be caused by Cushing’s disease, ectopic ACTH syndrome, or adrenal Cushing’s syndrome.
Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome Epidemiology Perspective
The Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome epidemiology division offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for endogenous Cushing’s syndrome epidemiology scenario by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for the disease and their trends. The endogenous Cushing’s syndrome detailed epidemiology segmentation is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.
- Excess cortisol production due to an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary tumor is known as Cushing's disease, and it accounts for approximately 80% of cases of endogenous Cushing's syndrome, according to Hirsch, Dania et al. (2018) and other researchers.
- Cushing's disease (CD) is considered the most prevalent form of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. The annual incidence is estimated to range from 1 in 588,235 to 833,333 individuals, while the overall incidence of Cushing's syndrome (from all causes) is estimated to be between 1 in 12,658 to 17,544 individuals per year, as per Orphanet.
- The Cleveland Clinic reports that approximately 40 to 70 individuals out of 1 million each year are affected by Cushing syndrome.
- Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome occurs due to cortisol produced by the body, affecting children, teenagers, and adults. It is primarily found in people between the ages of 25 and 50. The average age at diagnosis is 40 years, with a significant predominance of cases in females.
Country-wise Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome Epidemiology Segment
The endogenous Cushing’s syndrome epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.
The epidemiology of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome varies significantly between countries due to differences in factors such as genetic predisposition, healthcare access, diagnostic practices, environmental influences (such as exposure to toxins or certain medications), and sociocultural factors. In the United States, approximately 10 to 15 new cases per million individuals are diagnosed each year, as per the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
Endogenous Cushing’s Syndrome: Treatment Overview
The treatment approach for endogenous Cushing’s syndrome is based on the underlying cause of the excess cortisol production. For Cushing’s disease, the primary treatment is surgical removal of the tumor, typically through a minimally invasive procedure called transsphenoidal surgery. In cases where the excess cortisol is produced by adrenal tumors, adrenalectomy, or surgical removal of the affected adrenal gland, is often required.
Endogenous Cushing’s syndrome therapeutics that block cortisol production, such as ketoconazole or mitotane, are used to manage symptoms in cases where surgery is not an option. For endogenous Cushing’s syndrome patients with complications like high blood pressure, diabetes, or osteoporosis, supportive treatments like antihypertensive drugs, insulin for diabetes, and bone-protective medications may also be recommended by the healthcare provider.
