Pituitary Tumor Screening

There are no standard screening methods used to find pituitary tumors. If a person has MEN1, they should discuss screening with their doctor. For members of a family with the MEN1 syndrome, blood testing may be recommended to look for pituitary hormone levels. These blood tests raise the chances of finding a tumor early so it can be treated.
