The Molecular Pathogenesis of Pituitary Adenomas: An Update
Pituitary tumors represent the most common intracranial neoplasms accompanying serious morbidity through mass effects and inappropriate secretion of pituitary hormones. Understanding the etiology of pituitary tumorigenesis will facilitate the development of satisfactory treatment for pituitary adenomas. Although the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas is largely unknown, considerable evidence in...
متن کاملUpdate on the treatment of pituitary adenomas: familial and genetic considerations.
Clinically-relevant pituitary adenomas occur with a prevalence of approximately 1 per 1000 population in Belgium. Pituitary adenomas that occur in families are likely to have an important genetic pathophysiological basis. Currently about 5% of all pituitary adenoma cases have a family history of pituitary adenomas, classically due to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and Carney complex...
متن کاملThe Genetics of Pituitary Adenomas
Cancer is considered a disease of the genome since the development of the vast majority of the human neoplasias is due to the accumulation of gene mutations. Indeed, the vast majority of tumours occur due to a considerable number of mutations that human cells accumulate during lifetime. Approximately 380 genes, representing about 1% of all human genes, have been implicated via mutation in tumor...
متن کامل[Treatment of pituitary adenomas].
There has been a dramatic development in the treatment of pituitary adenomas during the last two decades. The main factors which led to this development were the introduction of transsphenoidal surgery, the development of new imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the introduction of newer dopaminergic agents. Present status of the treatment...
