Pituitary Gland Carcinoma

Pituitary gland carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that originates in the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain that regulates various hormones. This cancer can disrupt hormone production, leading to health issues such as abnormal growth, changes in metabolism, and other endocrine disorders. Unlike benign pituitary tumors, pituitary carcinoma can invade surrounding tissues and may spread to other parts of the body. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and hormone level assessments, and treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to manage symptoms and control cancer growth.
