Pituitary Gland Cancer Treatment

Pituitary Gland Cancer Treatment - Pituitary tumors can be malignant (carcinomas) or benign (adenomas). Because there are more than a dozen different disorders that result from pituitary tumors, treatment varies according to a variety of patient-specific factors, such as tumor location and size, cancer type and stage, and more. Some common forms of pituitary gland cancer treatment may include surgery (e.g., transsphenoidal surgery, craniotomy), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
