1.	Acromegaly 01/01/1985 - "We confirm that external pituitary irradiation is effective in reducing elevated serum GH levels in acromegaly, but suggest that such a slow reduction in serum GH levels does not retard the development of cardiovascular complications." 06/18/1970 - "Efficacy of conventional pituitary irradiation in acromegaly." 04/01/2006 - "PATIENTS: We studied 1840 patients with acromegaly, of whom 884 had received conventional pituitary irradiation" 02/01/2001 - "OBJECTIVE: For patients in whom acromegaly persists despite pituitary surgery, conventional pituitary irradiation represents an additional treatment option" 11/01/2000 - "PATIENTS AND METHODS: A group of 125 patients with acromegaly (67 females; mean age, 47 years; 59 patients had previous pituitary irradiation) from 26 medical centres in France, Spain and Germany were studied" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Cushing Syndrome 09/01/1996 - "One patient needed three more operations until hypercortisolism subsided; one patient achieved remission after additional pituitary irradiation" 05/01/1979 - "This may become the preferred treatment for pituitary Cushing's syndrome in the adult, particularly where the appropriate equipment and skills are available; for children, external pituitary irradiation seems to offer safe and effective therapy." 04/01/2000 - "Treatment of pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome: long-term results of unilateral adrenalectomy followed by external pituitary irradiation compared to transsphenoidal pituitary surgery." 01/01/1992 - "Treatment directed at relieving hypercortisolism has been instituted during pregnancy: Pituitary or adrenal surgery, chemotherapy, and pituitary irradiation have all been reported, with variable results" 09/01/1989 - "Four approaches were used in the management of Cushing's syndrome: (1) pituitary surgery, (2) pituitary irradiation, (3) adrenal surgery, and (4) drug therapy" Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Syndrome 03/01/1995 - "In 12 patients bilateral adrenalectomy or external pituitary irradiation were required to achieve remission; one of them developed Nelson's syndrome 15 years after implantation" 01/01/2000 - "Pituitary irradiation prior to total adrenalectomy delays the onset of Nelson's syndrome." 01/01/2000 - "Prior pituitary irradiation was a protective factor against Nelson's syndrome as it delayed its onset (p = 0.025)" 09/01/1989 - "We report the long-term follow-up of the clinical and biochemical effects of megavoltage pituitary irradiation (radiotherapy; RT), administered as primary or secondary therapy, for pituitary Cushing's disease and Nelson's syndrome in 52 patients" 09/01/1989 - "Megavoltage pituitary irradiation in the management of Cushing's disease and Nelson's syndrome: long-term follow-up."

5.	Prolactinoma (Prolactinomas) 09/29/1979 - "Prophylactic treatment to limit subsequent tumour expansion during pregnancy in patients with prolactinomas is indicated, and pituitary irradiation before conception appears to be a safe and effective method to achieve this goal." 05/01/1991 - "Megavoltage pituitary irradiation in the management of prolactinomas: long-term follow-up." 01/01/1979 - "Therefore it is suggested that similar damage may occur in patients receiving external pituitary irradiation for 'prolactinomas' and that this mechanism may contribute to the persistent hyperprolactinaemia observed in such patients." 05/01/2005 - "METHODS: We report the case of a patient who underwent remote pituitary irradiation for a prolactinoma and then presented decades later with hypercalcemia of unknown cause" 06/01/1986 - "The long-term sequelae of external pituitary irradiation alone or in combination with surgery and/or bromocriptine therapy have been studied in 14 patients with large prolactinomas over an observation period of 6-22 years (mean 13 years)" Order ALL the reference details at left...
