Is there a role for medical therapy for non- functioning pituitary adenomas? - FOR

In this debate I will make an overview of outcomes of NFPA patients with post-operative remnants, who were treated conservatively after surgery. In view of the high rates of tumor progression with consequent need for repeated surgery and radiation therapy, we propose the use of dopamine agonists in these patients. Recent data showing that preventive treatment with dopamine agonists significantly reduces the rate of tumor progression and the need for radiation therapy or additional surgical interventions will be reviewed.
