Abstract
An effective systematic approach for the management of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas is described. This methodology has stood the test of time and has been modified in accordance with experience. The primary goals are to obtain satisfactory control of the tumor and to avoid undesirable side effects related to dopamine agonist-based therapeutic agents.
