A concept diagram, not an anatomical image, procedure simulation, or personal treatment sequence.

A tumour does not always mean cancer. Type and grade need clarification.

Understand this condition

Pituitary tumours arise in the hormone-regulating gland at the brain base. Many are noncancerous but can affect hormones or vision.

How it is assessed

Assessment combines MRI, focused hormone tests, and visual fields where needed. Hormone excess or deficiency influences planning.

Care pathways

Medicines, monitoring, transsphenoidal surgery, or radiation depend on type and effects. Endocrine follow-up matters.

Important distinctions & limits

Some hormone-secreting tumours have specific medical treatments. Size alone does not determine surgery or treatment type.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
