A team of neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and neuro-radiologists join together once a month for a pituitary conference to discuss cases and determine best treatment options for the patients. Patients are then updated as indicated based on the consensus of the entire team in order to proceed with the recommended treatment.
