Abstract:
In this review article, we are discussing the origin of pituitary tumors. We are showing the pathological transcription factors playing role in the differentiation of the pituitary cells. We are also describing the regulation of pituitary hormone secretion, describing the incidence of pituitary tumors, and at length describe the modern treatment of them with surgery, medications, or stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife) as well as a combination of different treatment modalities.
