Pituitary Tumor
The pituitary or master gland produces hormones in the body. When cancerous growth begins to erupt in the gland, it is called pituitary tumor/cancer. Mostly, cancer in the pituitary gland is benign and may not even show symptoms for a very long time. Also, the cancer is less likely to spread to other parts of the body.


The normal functioning of the body, however, may be hampered. As the gland is responsible for producing hormones, the body may not either receive an adequate number of hormones or produce hormones excessively
