UVA endocrinologists Mary Lee Vance, MD, and Michael O. Thorner, MBBS, along with neurosurgeon Edward R. Laws, MD, founded the multidisciplinary Pituitary Tumor Program in 1992. Before and after Laws’s 2006 departure, the program recruited accomplished neurosurgeons such as John A. Jane Jr., MD, and the late Edward H. Oldfield, MD. Now entering its fourth decade, multidisciplinary Pituitary Tumor Program is currently led by Drs. Mary Lee Vance, Gregory Hong, and John A. Jane, Jr., and includes medical endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, neuropathologists, neuro-ophthalmologists, neuro-oncologists, neuroradiologists, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nurses, and therapists. The Pituitary Tumor Program sees approximately 500 new patients and performs over 200 pituitary surgeries each year. Diagnostic expertise includes the full array of hormone analysis, provocative/dynamic hormone testing, imaging (e.g., MRI, CT), inferior petrosal sinus sampling, and neuropathology. Surgical techniques employed include transsphenoidal microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, extended transsphenoidal skull-base approaches, and craniotomy when indicated. Substantial surgical volumes have yielded an excellent history of results for transsphenoidal operations at UVA. The Pituitary Tumor Program also maintains substantial expertise in medical therapy, conventional radiotherapy, and gamma knife radiosurgery. Since 1989, the Lars Leksell Center for Gamma Surgery at UVA Health has treated more than 10,000 patients, including over 600 patients with pituitary tumors.
