A member asked:
Can you please tell me the radiation points on the head for a pituitary tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The radiation oncologist will formulate a treatment plan from imaging of the tumor. Radiation is now usually given from multiple angles to minimize exposure to normal tissues and maximize exposure to the tumor.
