Treatment may be one of the following:

1. Surgery to remove the tumor (transsphenoidal surgery or craniotomy) followed by watchful waiting (closely monitoring a patient’s condition without giving any treatment until symptoms appear or change). Radiation therapy is given if the tumor comes back.
2. Radiation therapy.
3. Surgery followed by radiation therapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with pituitary tumor.
