Excerpt

Though pituitary adenomas are typically considered benign tumors, they can sometimes exhibit aggressive characteristics such as rapid growth, invasion into adjacent neurologic structures, and a high rate of recurrence. There is no clear definition of “aggressive” pituitary adenomas, and they are typically defined on an ad-hoc basis on such characteristics. In their study, Ceccato et al. attempt to clarify clinical, pathologic, and radiologic factors that correlate to clinical behavior and response to treatment, with the goal of potentially identifying factors that may signal tumor aggressiveness, thus guiding appropriate treatments. …
