Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1991 Mar;34(3):231-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2265.1991.tb00299.x.

Abstract

The management of prolactinomas requires a complex interaction of medical, surgical and radiotherapeutic intervention. With the judicious use of all these modalities, patients can usually be managed with great success and, perhaps more importantly, their presenting complaints (gonadal dysfunction and infertility) are usually completely corrected.
