Webcast:NIH, Friday, October 29,
2004 Pituitary tumors are not rare and occur in nearly 20% of adults, worldwide.
Although clinically significant, many of these tumors go undiagnosed for years. The
abnormal hormone production caused by these tumors has severe and debilitating effects on
growth, reproductive and sexual function, and neuroimmune function. Therefore, the purpose
of this symposium is to increase awareness and scientific understanding of the
all-encompassing nature of pituitary disorders in order to increase earlier diagnosis,
disseminate knowledge of state of the art treatments, and pique interest in novel
scientific study of the pathophysiology of these disorders and their many ramifications.
