Feasibility and outcome of re-irradiation in the treatment of multiply recurrent pituitary adenomas

Re-irradiation is a feasible treatment option for local control in patients with recalcitrant pituitary adenomas, with acceptable rates of RION and TLN given the lack of options that may be available otherwise. Re-irradiation, however, did not control hormonal hypersecretion.
