title: Genetics of pituitary adenomas: current theories and future implications.
abstract: Pituitary tumors are often viewed as benign entities that are rarely associated with significant rates of mortality or morbidity. These tumors can still be extremely difficult to manage, however, and can cause significant morbidity to the patient, both from tumor mass effect and secondary to hormonal imbalances.
