Abstract:
The assessment of pituitary function makes hormone replacement more timely for hypopituitarism after surgical procedure in patients with pituitary adenoma.However,there were only less than 50％ patients receiving this assessment in the current clinical practice.Only by means of the cooperation between endocrinologists and neurosurgeons and the close contact between doctors from both tertiary and primary hospitals will reach the goal of the patient-centered treatment and appropriately improve the defective therapy of the pituitary adenoma.
