"ONE IN FIVE" individuals may have an abnormal growth on their pituitary gland causing significant health complications that, if left undiagnosed and untreated, can impair normal hormone function and result in a reduced life span."
    - Shereen Ezzat, M.D., Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto
The Pituitary Network Association (PNA) is an international non-profit organization for patients with pituitary tumors and disorders, their families, loved ones, and the physicians and health care providers who treat them.

The PNA is supported by an international network of the world's finest physicians and surgeons. Our goal is to reach every patient who may be forgotten, abandoned, or worse yet, undiagnosed after many years of suffering. We are doing this in three ways:
  • Providing public awareness programs and educational seminars.
  • Assisting the medical community in developing uniform standards for early diagnosis, surgery, radiation, pharmacological treatment and follow-up.
  • Maintaining an interactive, educational, and informative web site that receives over half a million hits per month by patients and Doctors across the world.
