Pituicytoma-An outlook on possible targeted therapies.

CONCLUSIONS: Pituicytomas were generally positive for VEGFR and showed regular expression of SSTR 3 and 5 indicating a possible treatment option through targeted therapies in cases where resection remains insufficient. Further research is necessary as to whether tumor growth can be inhibited using these pathways. PMID: 28556544 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
