[Treatment of pituitary adenomas]

25 Sep 2009 According to epidemiological studies, the prevalence of pituitary adenomas is 16.5% and the majority of them are "incidentalomas". The symptoms of pituitary disorders are often non-specific; disturbances of pituitary function, compression symptoms, ... Read more...

Late-night and low-dose dexamethasone-suppressed cortisol in saliva and serum for the diagnosis of cortisol-secreting adrenal adenomas.

31 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: In patients with adrenal incidentalomas, hormonally active masses need to be considered, particularly cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA), aldosterone-producing adenomas, and pheochromocytomas. The screening for hypercortisolism relies on ... Read more...

Nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas: the Oxford experience.

30 Aug 2009 Nonfunctioning adenomas are the second most common type of pituitary tumor. Over the past few years, our knowledge of the epidemiology, natural history, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence rates of these tumors has improved. Here, we highlight some ... Read more...
