Twenty-four cases of pituitary adenoma, 13 males and 11 females with the age ranging from 11 to 65 years, received radiation therapy (RT) on the pituitary area with a 6 MV linear accelerator during past 25 months at the Division of Radiation Therapy, Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic Medical College.
Of 24 cases of RT, 20 were postoperative and 4 primary. To evaluate the effect of RT, we analyzed the alteration of the endocrinologic tests (prolactin, growth homme), neurologic abnormalities, major clinical symptoms, endocrinologic changes and improvement in visual problems after RT.
