- Includes tactics on the proper diagnosis of hypercortisolism, a serious, multisystemic disease that, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications and increased mortality, including cardiovascular events, diabetes, and infections
- Covers the diagnosis of hypercortisolism and how it is complex due to non-specific symptoms, the existence of multiple potential causes, and the variability of test results
- Distinguishes between true hypercortisolism and conditions with similar symptoms, including their differences, especially in cases like subclinical, cyclic or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome

Marta Araujo Castro
Marta Araujo-Castro, MD, PhD, is a Consultant Endocrinologist in the Neuroendocrinology and Adrenal Unit of the Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition at Ramón y Cajal University Hospital, Madrid, Spain, and a researcher at the Ramón y Cajal Institute for Health Research (IRYCIS). She obtained her PhD from the Alcalá de Henares University, where she received the Extraordinary Doctorate Award for her research on personalized medicine in adrenal tumors using metabolomics.
Dr. Araujo-Castro completed her residency in Endocrinology and Nutrition at Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda and has developed extensive clinical and research expertise in adrenal and pituitary disorders, hereditary endocrine neoplasia, neuroendocrine tumors, and endocrine oncology. She coordinates the Adrenal and Pituitary Units at her institution and actively participates in multidisciplinary endocrine tumor and hereditary cancer boards. Her research focuses on translational endocrinology, particularly the identification of diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers in adrenal and pituitary diseases, precision medicine, endocrine tumor genetics, and optimization of the management of patients with adrenal tumors, Cushing syndrome, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, and primary aldosteronism. She has led and participated in numerous national and international collaborative studies and is actively involved in several Spanish and European endocrine registries and research networks.
She is committed to advancing evidence-based endocrine practice through multidisciplinary collaboration, clinical research, education, and mentorship, with a particular focus on improving the diagnosis and personalized management of patients with hereditary endocrine tumor syndromes.
