Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroendocrinology is the study of interactions between hormones and the brain, primarily focusing on how hormones affect behavior. Pituitary adenoma (PA) is not a simple resectable benign tumor but a complex neuroendocrine disease with a very high incidence and relatively common intracranial neoplasms; it is usually benign, but occasionally exhibits aggressive behavior and is very rarely malignant.
Pituitary tumors can be either secretory (secreting excessive pituitary hormones) or non-functioning (non-secreting). Pituitary tumor symptoms may be caused by a tumor putting pressure on the brain or on other parts of the body nearby. Symptoms also can be caused by a hormone imbalance. This Special Issue provides contemporary insights into various aspects of PA, with an emphasis on the molecular understanding of tumor pathogenesis and on molecular advancements in the radiological, histopathological, genetic, and personalized use of emerging therapies.
