What is the cause of pituitary tumor attack

What is the cause of pituitary tumor? Pituitary tumor is a common tumor disease in the brain. There are many clinical classifications of this disease. Therefore, when treating patients, we must set up a plan based on the cause, symptoms and other characteristics. For pituitary tumor, we need to know more about its cause so that we can do a good job of prevention in daily life. So, what is the cause of pituitary tumor?

1. Intrinsic defects: Some scholars believe that local pituitary cells become hyperfunctional and eventually form tumors. In 1990, Alexander et al. used the X-chromosome inactivation analysis method to confirm that all 6 cases of non-functional pituitary adenomas were monoclonal. Schulter et al. later used the same method to find that most (6/9) of 9 cases of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) adenomas were monoclonal.

Scholars believe that pituitary tumors are monoclonal, that is, they originate from a single abnormal cell, so gene mutation may be the most fundamental cause of tumor formation. Currently, in the study of the occurrence of pituitary tumors, the correlation between the Gsp tumor gene and growth hormone (GH) adenoma has been confirmed.

2. Gene mutation: one of the main causes of pituitary tumors. The role of gene mutation in pituitary cells in the occurrence of pituitary adenomas has received great attention in recent years. At present, it has been confirmed that point mutations in genes related to cell signal transduction can lead to the occurrence of pituitary adenomas.

Regarding the treatment of pituitary tumors, the treatment plan is mainly determined by the size of the tumor, whether it secretes hormones, and the patient's complications. The treatment of pituitary tumors is a comprehensive treatment process involving the collaboration of multiple departments. The departments involved in the treatment of pituitary tumors mainly include endocrinology, neurosurgery, radiotherapy, ophthalmology, and imaging diagnosis.

According to the current medical research data on the causes of pituitary tumors, the main cause of the disease is the change of internal body immunity and genes. In order to maintain a high immunity, people need to develop good living habits, exercise regularly, improve physical fitness, and better resist the invasion of various diseases.
