It provides also explanations on the disease for patients who are worried that they may have signs or symptoms of acromegaly and to the patient’ relatives.

An uncommon and relatively unknown disease

Acromegaly is an infrequently diagnosed hormonal or endocrine disorder that is due to growth hormone overproduction due to the presence of a benign (not cancerous) pituitary tumor.

Acromegaly is characterized by slowly developing, but eventually distinct clinical symptoms. Over time, excess of growth hormone can produce some characteristic symptoms and signs, such as heavy or prominent facial features, with a prominent jaw line, enlarged hands and feet and possibly a deepened and husky voice. The diagnosis of acromegaly is often delayed as the symptoms tend to progress slowly and may remain undetected for up to 10 years.

Acromegaly is rare… It has been estimated that there are only around three to six people per million people in the general population newly diagnosed with acromegaly each year.

The result is a patient-focused intuitively organized searchable online ‘hub’ that addresses the wide range of needs identified: from helping to drive earlier diagnosis, to comprehensive disease area information through to a wide range of support and tools on a more practical level.
