A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the pituitary gland, which is the main hormone-producing gland in the body. About the size of a pea, the pituitary gland is located in the center of the brain behind the nose and eyes. Hormones are chemical substances the body produces that control and regulate certain cells or organs. A tumor in the pituitary gland can disrupt the normal balance of hormones in the body and affect a person's health.
Our multi-specialty team includes world-class neurosurgeons from the Comprehensive Brain Tumor Center and specialists from other departments who work together to offer you a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan.

Many pituitary tumors are small, do not cause health problems and may never need treatment. Those that require treatment can typically be treated with medications and/or surgery. In rare instances, your doctor may treat your tumor with radiation therapy. After surgical or radiation treatment, you might need to take medication to control the balance of hormones in the body.
