Pituitary adenomas may hypersecrete hormones (including prolactin, growth hormone and
adrenocorticotropic hormone, and rarely follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone or …

Recently there has been significant progress in our understanding of pituitary development,
physiology, and pathology. New information has helped to clarify the classification of …

Pituitary tumors exhibit a spectrum of biology, with variable growth and hormonal behaviors.
They therefore provide an opportunity to examine pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie …

Pituitary tumors are mostly benign monoclonal adenomas arising from adenohypophyseal
cells in the anterior pituitary. These tumors usually autonomously express and secrete …

Pituitary tumours are common and show a range of hormonal and proliferative behaviours
that provide a model for the study of neoplasia mechanisms. Mutations in classic oncogenes …

Pituitary tumors are the result of a monoclonal outgrowth where the intrinsic genetic defects
involve oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes (TSG), and most likely genes responsible for …

All endocrine glands are susceptible to neoplastic growth, yet the health consequences of
these neoplasms differ between endocrine tissues. Pituitary neoplasms are highly prevalent …

Substantial advances have been made recently in the pathobiology of pituitary tumors.
Similar to many other endocrine tumors, over the last few years we have recognized the role …

Anterior pituitary cell types express distinct hormone gene products. These include ACTH,
GH, PRL, TSH, FSH and LH. Pituitary adenomas are distinguished by both excess …

Pituitary tumours are a common type of intracranial neoplasm and, depending on the cell
type of origin, have diverse endocrine and reproductive effects. The developmental biology …
