The large contribution of intraneuronal deamination to catecholamine turnover, and dependence of this on the vesicular-axoplasmic monoamine exchange process, helps explain how synthesis, release, metabolism, turnovers, and stores of catechlamines are regulated in a coordinated fashion during stress and in disease states.

Advances in genetic mutation analysis have greatly improved identification of patients with familial pheochromocytoma, allowing detection of tumors at an early stage, often before typical signs and symptoms occur and highlighting inadequacies of commonly used diagnostic tests.

Recommendations were made during the symposium for biochemical diagnosis, localization, genetics, and treatment of Pheochromocytoma that inadequate methods to distinguish malignant from benign tumors and a lack of effective treatments for malignancy are important problems requiring further resolution.
Biochemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma: how to distinguish true- from false-positive test results.
- G. Eisenhofer, D. Goldstein, K. Pacak
- Medicine, BiologyJournal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
- 1 June 2003
In patients with suspected pheochromocytoma and positive biochemical results, false-positive elevations due to medications should first be eliminated and patterns of biochemical test results and responses of plasma normetanephrine to clonidine can then help distinguish true- from false- positive results.
Malignant pheochromocytoma: current status and initiatives for future progress.
