The pituitary gland is an important gland in the brain, and is often referred to as the "master endocrine gland" because it secretes a variety of hormones that affect many bodily functions. Examples of hormones secreted by the pituitary gland include:
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease, including cancer. There are risk factors that can be controlled, such as smoking, and risk factors that cannot be controlled, such as age and family history. Although risk factors can influence disease, for many risk factors it is not known whether or not they actually cause the disease directly. Some people with several risk factors never develop the disease, while others with no known risk factors do. Knowing your risk factors and communicating with your doctor can help guide you in making wise lifestyle and health-care choices.
There are no known risk factors for pituitary gland tumors. However, a familial syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) can cause an increased risk of pituitary tumors in affected family members. Another familial syndrome, known as Carney complex, can also raise the risk of a pituitary gland tumor.
People with a pituitary gland tumor may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, people with these tumors do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be similar to symptoms of other medical conditions. If you are concerned about a symptom on this list, please talk to your doctor.
Doctors use many tests to diagnose cancer and determine if it has metastasized (spread to distant locations in the body) or if it is invading structures around its site of origin. Some tests may also determine which treatments may be the most effective. For most types of tumors, a biopsy is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis of cancer. If a biopsy is not possible, the doctor may suggest other tests that will help make a diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether the cancer has metastasized or is locally invasive. Very few pituitary tumors ever metastasize, and when they do they are called "pituitary carcinoma" instead of the much more common, benign "pituitary adenoma." Your doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
The following tests may be used to diagnose a pituitary gland tumor:
Neurological examination. An evaluation of the patient's central nervous system may include testing of the reflexes, motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, and mental status.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
A new lump, growth or swelling that is painless, firm, and growing — the most common early sign of cancer that requires immediate biopsy.
Losing more than 5 kg without trying — a systemic sign of cancer that affects the body's metabolism and nutritional status.
Extreme tiredness unrelated to activity or sleep — caused by cancer cells consuming the body's energy resources and bone marrow infiltration.
Yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice), blood in urine or stool, change in bowel habits persisting more than 4 weeks — potential signs of GI or GU malignancy.
Drenching night sweats, persistent low-grade fever, and recurring infections — classic 'B symptoms' of lymphoma and haematological cancers.
Raised tumour markers (PSA, CEA, CA-125, AFP), abnormal lymph nodes on CT/PET-CT, or suspicious finding on MRI requiring oncology evaluation.
