A member asked:
Can you tell me what you suggest if it's there. does he mean the removal of just the tumor itself or the whole pituitary gland?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pituitary tumor: With pituitary tumors it is rare that you have to remove the whole gland. In most cases the tumor is removed leaving the gland intact.
