Beskrivning

Pituitary adenomas account for 10-15 per cent of all intracranial tumours and they frequently impair fertility. The development of medical and surgical therapy for such tumours has turned pregnancy into a reality for women harbouring pituitary adenomas. However, gestation risks for both mother and foetus are still of concern for endocrinologists, gynecologists and paediatricians. This book intends to update knowledge on this topic, mainly regarding fertility restoration as well as gestational and post gestational management of patients with pituitary tumours. It is a fitting addition to the Endocrine Updates series, the aim of which is to provide the clinician with cutting edge, yet succinct, access to advances in endocrinology.
