Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

In clinical practice, the size of adenomas is crucial for guiding prolactinoma patients towards the most suitable initial treatment. Consequently, establishing guidelines for serum prolactin level thresholds to assess prolactinoma size is essential. However, the potential impact of gender differences in prolactin levels on estimating adenoma size (micro- vs. macroadenoma) is not yet fully comprehended.
