Pituitary gland. 2014 27.8 2015 26.1 is this cancerous and do i need mri/do i go back in 3mths to draw blood again? nothing else came back high.

Standard approaches: Unlikely to have cancer, but pituitary adenomas could be present, and perhaps you have non-secreting process. Usual approach to check MRI studies over period of time, and get blood studies based on MRI and clinical changes.
