"106.MICROADENOMA OF THE BREAST < 1cm is treated with bromocriptine , where as macroadenoam is treated with >1cm is treated with surgery "

Is that breast or the pituitary?

Please verify...

Thanks for the post...smiling face

very high yield


  #7

good point

thx for noting,yup this for pituitary microadenoma not breast

as breast ca therapies depend on hormone receptor positivity ,locally resectable or not and extent of mets,bromocriptine not at all in any choice for breast ca
