    The symptoms of pituitary tumors are: 1. About 70% of cases of excessive endocrine hormones are clinically characterized by the hypersecretion of the pituitary gland, resulting in characteristic hypersecretory syndrome. This type of patient is more common in young people.

    For example, amenorrhea-galactorrhea, gigantism and acromegaly, hypercortisolism, pituitary hyperthyroidism, Nelson syndrome.

    2. The compression of the pituitary gland itself is characterized by the decrease of pituitary tropin and the atrophy of the surrounding corresponding target glands, which can be manifested as symptoms of partial or total pituitary hypofunction, such as fatigue, weakness, hypogonadism or impotence, hypothyroidism, and sometimes tumor compression of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can produce diabetes insipidus.

    3. The manifestations of compression of adjacent tissues of pituitary adenoma include headache: it may appear early, which is attributed to the increased tension of the sellar septum and dura due to the intrasellar tumor; vision loss, visual field impairment, optic nerve compression, temporal bilateral hemianopia; Cerebrospinal fluid leak: the tumor grows downward and destroys the sellar floor; Hypothalamic syndrome cluster:

    Hypothalamic compression can affect sleep, feeding, behavior, and mood changes; Cavernous sinus syndrome, ocular movement disorders and exophthalmos.

At present, the effect of Cyberknife has been recognized by the public, and it is also the most advanced means, which is understandable!

    There are several reasons for pituitary tumors: 1. The compression of pituitary tumors on normal pituitary tissues and the damage caused by radiation ** cause hypopituitary function, which affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the human body, so that the secretion of gonadotropins is insufficient, which further leads to hypogonadism, which is a common pituitary tumor**.

    2. Pituitary tumors also include prolactin-type pituitary tumors, which are manifested by menopause, lactation and infertility in women, and impotence and hypofunction in men, which is related to hyperprolactinemia inhibiting the release of gonadotropins, reducing pituitary reactivity and reducing testosterone production.

    3. Thyrotropin-stimulating adenoma is a common pituitary tumor due to low thyroid function and slow systemic metabolism, which reduces the metabolism of estrogen and androgen in the body with the lack of thyroxine.

    3. Some of them induce malignant transformation or gene mutation of tumor cells due to other lifestyle habits, such as staying up late for a long time and being tired;

    4. There are also hereditary properties, such as familial inheritance can cause pituitary adenoma. Through examination, it is found that there is a certain relationship with the genes of pituitary tumors, and genes play a decisive role.

Adenomas in the anterior lobe account for the majority of tumors in this group, and those from the posterior lobe are rare. According to incomplete statistics, PRL tumors are the most common, accounting for about 50-55%, followed by GH tumors (20-23%), ACTH tumors (5-8%), and TSH tumors and LH FSH tumors are less common.

    Non-functioning pituitary adenomas account for 20-25%. Pituitary tumors account for about 10% of intracranial tumors. Most pituitary tumors are benign adenomas and very few are cancerous.

    Pituitary tumors are tumors that occur on the pituitary gland, commonly known as pituitary adenomas, and are one of the common neuroendocrine tumors, accounting for about 10-15% of tumors of the central nervous system.
