| | Pituitary Adenoma - CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery System |
| | For all other symptomatic adenomas, the “gold-standard” therapy is surgical removal of the tumor. | | | This approach further lessens the radiation risk to the sensitive structures around the tumor, such as the optic chiasm and hypothalamus. | | | By focusing the radiation on only the tumor, this form of treatment minimizes the anatomical spread of radiation to normal brain. |

| | Nonfunctional adrenal cortical adenomas are not premalignant, and surgical excision is not indicated. | | | The histologic and cytologic results from needle biopsy samples of the adrenal gland are reliable in differentiating metastatic lesions from adenomas. | | | This unique difference allows clinicians to use imaging techniques that demonstrate lipid to distinguish adenomas from other processes that affect the adrenal gland. |

| | Surgical therapy, medicinal therapy or radiotherapy are the three treatment options for pituitary adenomas. | | | Since the late 1970s, the transphenoidal surgical approach has been the preferred procedure for removal of tumors. | | | If the drug therapy is discontinued, there is often regrowth and enlargement of the adenoma. |

| | Pleomorphic adenoma |
| | The mesenchymal component has a myxoid stroma with elements such as chondroid or bone. | | | This finding further supports the pluripotent single-cell theory, which postulates that the tumor-initiated, modified myoepithelial cell, evolves into the varied somatic cell phenotypes present in pleomorphic adenoma, and reinforces the role of PLAG1 on the tumorigenesis of benign and malignant pleomorphic adenoma. | | | Complete surgical removal is curative but if the initial surgical procedure does not completely remove the tumor, there is a low recurrence rate of less than 2%. |
