For the treatment to be successful and risk free, the selection of an expert pituitary gland tumor surgeon is very important. Once you have selected an experienced surgeon for your treatment, the half of the work is considered to be over. The pituitary gland is a half-breed in many ways. It is not really a part of the brain, but rather hangs beneath it. Half of the gland comes down from the brain. The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland. As elsewhere in the brain, tumors of the pituitary gland behave according to their cell of origin. Most of these tumors are truly benign, although on occasion they may prove to be malignant. People with a pituitary gland tumor may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, people with a pituitary gland tumor do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not related to a pituitary gland tumor. If you are concerned about a symptom on this list, please talk with your doctor. General symptoms include: Headaches, vision problems, changes in menstrual cycles in women, impotence in men, caused by hormone changes, infertility, and inappropriate production of breast milk, Cushing’s syndrome which is caused by overproduction of ACTH, acromegaly from overproduction of growth hormone, unexplained tiredness, and irritability. The pituitary gland is located exactly between these two structures, which contain the nerves that control eye movement and the major arteries that feed the brain. Therefore, these tumors may occasionally present the patient with double vision, or even something called "Pituitary Apoplexy". Each tumor, because of its extraordinarily high hormonal output, creates a characteristic clinical syndrome that brings attention to the tumor.

Once surgery to remove a pituitary tumor has been performed, the patient is typically followed by both an endocrinologist and a neurosurgeon. Yearly MRI scans are performed for five years, and possibly longer in some instances. Hormone testing is often carried out on an annual basis. By properly following all instructions as suggested by your pituitary gland tumor surgeon in India, you can get rid of cancer fro roots. These surgeons in India are highly qualified from the U.S. and other developed countries, and now days are performing surgical procedures in India’s best cancer surgery centers. The cost of surgical treatment provided by pituitary gland tumor surgeon in India is very less compared to that of the cost of same surgical treatment provided in other developed countries.
