Treatment of Aggressive Pituitary Adenomas: A Case-Based Narrative Review

Management of aggressive pituitary adenomas is challenging due to a paucity of rigorous evidence supporting available treatment approaches. Recent guidelines emphasize the need to maximize standard therapies as well as the use of temozolomide and radiation therapy to treat disease recurrence. Howeve...
