Curcumin for the treatment of pituitary adenomas: the potential of a single agent for multifaceted therapeutic effects
Curcumin's ability to concurrently target tumor growth, hormone hypersecretion, and metabolic complications positions it as a unique "one drug, multiple effects" candidate. Future research must prioritize PA-specific mechanistic studies and advanced delivery systems to realize its clinical potential.
