Abstract:
With the development of molecular and cell biology,new concept of the etiology of pituitary adenomas was taking shape.The etiology of pituitary adenoma was considered to be related to gene mutation and transforming factors.This paper reviews the roles of gene mutations,transforming factors,expression of receptors on cells and growth factors in the etiology of pituitary adenomas.
