A member asked:
What lab work can check for pituitary tumour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should seek Endocrin: An endocrinologist is the right specialist to order the test for investigating pituitory tumors. Usually they would obtain hormonal levels of blood which originate and are made by the pituitory which is master gland controlling production of all hormones made in our bodies. These can increase or decrease due to a tumor in this gland.
