NFPMs are associated with a significant degree of hypopituitarism at time of diagnosis and post-therapy. The combination of surgery and radiotherapy is associated with a higher risk of pituitary dysfunction. Recovery of pituitary hormone deficit may occur after treatment. Patients should have regular ongoing endocrine evaluation post-treatment to assess changes in pituitary function and the need for long-term replacement therapy.
