Core Tip

Core Tip: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor volume serves as a complementary prognostic factor for disease control in patients with acromegaly. Larger tumors are associated with a higher risk of persistent disease and an increased likelihood of requiring medical treatment following surgery. The consideration of tumor volume is essential in clinical decision-making when managing acromegaly.
