The aim of this analysis was to assess biochemical control rates in patients with Cushing's disease (CD), ectopic Cushing's syndrome (ECS), and adrenal Cushing's syndrome (ACS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with confirmed CS (n = 296) treated in a single tertiary care center were retrospectively analyzed (185 CD, 27 ECS, 84 uni- and bilateral ACS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>First-line treatment led to biochemical control in 82% of the patients. Time to biochemical control (median, interquartile range) was longer in CD (11.0 weeks, 5.6-29.8; P &amp;lt; .05) than in ACS (7.7 weeks, 4.1-17.1) and ECS (5.6 weeks, 4.1-23.3). Disease persistence or recurrence after first-line therapy was observed more often in CD (24% and 18%; P &amp;lt; .05) than in ECS (15% and 15%) and ACS (6% and 4%). Total time in hypercortisolism since diagnosis was significantly shorter in patients with CD diagnosed since 2013, after specialized patient care was implemented, compared to patients diagnosed before 2013 (13.5 weeks vs 26.1 weeks; P &amp;lt; .0070). Control of hypercortisolism at last follow-up (76 months, 38-163) was achieved in 94% of patients with ACS, 100% of patients with ECS, and 92% of patients with CD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Biochemical control can be achieved in most patients with different subtypes of CS within a reasonable time frame.
