    Cushing syndrome (CS) is associated with increased cancer risk, as evidenced by a nationwide cohort study in Taiwan.

  • 2

    The study identified 1,278 patients with newly diagnosed endogenous CS from 2006 to 2017, focusing on cancer incidence.

  • 3

    Patients with CS had a cancer incidence rate of 7.77 per 1000 person-years, with a standardized incidence ratio of 2.08.

  • 4

    The most common cancer types among patients with CS were liver (27.7%), kidney (16.7%), and lung (13.0%).

    The findings suggest a significant link between endogenous Cushing syndrome and increased cancer incidence.
