Radiation therapy of pituitary adenoma: delayed sequelae.

Clinical records and follow-up computed tomographic (CT) scans were reviewed for 134 pituitary adenoma patients who underwent radiation therapy between 1970 and 1988, to determine the long-term clinical and radiologic complication rates for patients treated in a fairly standard manner for nonmalignant disease. The group consisted of 82 males and 52 females aged 16-85 years (median, 46 years). Fifty-nine (44%) of the 134 tumors were secretory.
