Treating Tumors in the Pituitary Gland - Global Neurosciences Institute at Crozer

Up to 20 percent of the people in this country have a pituitary gland tumor but are not aware of it. Pituitary tumors are benign and don't spread to other parts of the body. But they can grow large and put pressure on other parts of the brain. That's when people can start to experience symptoms.

Some pituitary tumors can be treated with medication but most often, surgery is needed. Surgery can now be completed through the patient's nose, with no incision. Get more information about pituitary gland tumors and how they are treated in this video from the Global Neurosciences Institute at Crozer.
