The authors believe that the use of x-rays in the treatment of pituitary tumors is definitely necessary, and that x-ray therapy should be tested regardless of the nature of the tumor, the degree of its development and the clinical symptoms. It gives the best result in neoplasms developing in the anterior lobe of the medullary appendage, i.e. in cases of acromegaly.
