Neuroendocrinology

This program, a collaborative effort between the division and the Department of Neurosurgery and led by neuroendocrinologists and neurosurgeons, is comprised of a multidisciplinary team that also includes neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, and neuropsychiatrists. These specialists work together to evaluate and provide the most effective treatment for each patient as part of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center. The division has been providing new approaches in neuroendocrinology to treat patients with pituitary tumors and complications of other brain tumor treatments. New medical therapies available at the center offer alternatives to surgery or radiation and help preserve pituitary function for patients with hormone-secreting pituitary tumors, including prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas, growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumors (acromegaly), and Cushing's disease.
