Abstract:
In last years, advances in endocrinological and neuroradiological research have lead to an earlier recognition and more effective management of pituitary tumours. At the same time, pharmacological investigation has allowed the development of useful drugs in the treatment of pituitary adenomas, either as an exclusive therapy or as an aid to surgery and radiotherapy. In this article we review indications and dosage of recently developed drugs for different types of hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas.
