Pituitary tumor induction by ionizing radiation appears to be a scopal (direct effect. Fission neutrons appeared to have a greater relative biological equivalent in inducing them than x rays. Gonadectomy prior to irradiation prevented or inhibited pituitary tumor development. The radiation-induced pituitary tumors observed were predominantly adrenotropic and mammotropic, with the exception of the head-neck irradiation groups, in which thyrotropic tumors were frequent. The spontaneous pituitary tumors were predominantly mammotropic. (auth)
