Pituitary tumours are associated with unrestrained secretion and subsequent action of trophic hormones. One approach to therapy involves suppressing pituitary-hormone hypersecretion without compromising endogenous pituitary function. Identification of novel neuroendocrine-receptor targets has enabled the development of safe and effective receptor ligands that can be used to treat pituitary tumours and associated hormonal excess. Some of these agents, such as somatostatin analogues and a growth-hormone-receptor antagonist, will also have broader applications in treating other cancers and metabolic disorders.
