About Pituitary Tumors

The pituitary gland is a pea-sized structure located at the base of your brain, behind your nose. It produces hormones that direct other glands in your body to produce the hormones involved in a variety of body functions.
Tumors on the pituitary gland are common and often don't cause problems. But if the tumor causes your body to produce too many or too few hormones, it can create an imbalance that may lead to a variety of symptoms and conditions. A pituitary tumor can also press on nearby nerves connected to your eyes, causing vision problems.
Most pituitary tumors are benign (called pituitary adenoma). Rarely, a pituitary tumor is cancerous (called pituitary carcinoma) and can spread beyond the pituitary gland.

Each pituitary tumor is unique, and treatment must be tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. When you choose Duke for your pituitary tumor treatment, you get coordinated care from a team of experts in their fields.
