Abstract excerpt
Various functioning and non-functioning tumors arise from endocrine glands in both the sporadic and familial forms and pathophysiology of the tumors is variable due to differences in the sort of tumor-bearing endocrine organs and in the amount of hormones released. In this paper, gene abnormalities in growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenoma, ectopic GHRH-producing tumor, multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN)...
