Guidelines: Congress of Neurological Surgeons Systematic Review and Evidence-Based Guideline for the Management of Patients With Residual or Recurrent Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas.
Despite the advancement of microsurgical and endoscopic techniques, some nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) can be difficult to cure. Tumor recurrence or incomplete resection may occur in some patients with NFPAs, and management strategies for these NFPAs remain unclear. ⋯ NFPA, nonfunctioning pituitary adenomaSRS, stereotactic radiosurgerySRT, stereotactic radiotherapyXRT, fractionated radiation therapy.
