Molecular Pathology of the Pituitary Adenomas

Molecular techniques have been applied to the study of pituitary adenomas by many investigators. We have used nonisotopicin situ hybridization (ISH) to analyze pituitary adenomas in our laboratory. These studies have provided insight into mRNA production by various adenomas, and have contributed toward our new proposed clinical and cytofunctional classification of pitutiary adenomas.
