Almost none: of the pituitary tumors are cancer. Their danger is that they can crowd out other hormones and mess up proper endocrine function a variety of ways. The drug doesn't always work. Generally it is taken for many months not forever, but... would have to have repeated looks and Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health,
