Low Incidence of New-Onset Hypopituitarism After High-Precision Stereotactic Radiation Therapy of Sellar and Perisellar Lesions
Awareness of radiation therapy-induced damage to the pituitary gland is essential in the follow-up after radiation therapy of the surrounding structures of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. High-precision fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy holds a low risk of RIH after irradiation of benign lesions of the sellar and perisellar region.
