Pituitary Tumors Treatment
Pituitary Tumors Treatment
A tumor is an abnormal growth of cells that can start anywhere in the body. Tumors that grow in the pituitary gland are called pituitary tumors. Most pituitary tumors are considered benign or non-cancerous because they don’t spread to other parts of the body like cancers do. However, benign tumors can still cause significant health issues because of their location near the brain.
