Abstract

Management of dopamine agonist (DA)–resistant prolactinomas that are not responding to second- and third-line treatments is challenging and necessitates alternative medical therapy. The presence of estrogen receptors on pituitary tumors accompanied by the variable behavior of pituitary tumors in the presence of estrogen prompted the study of the role of antiestrogen in the treatment of DA-resistant prolactinomas. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the role of tamoxifen in the treatment of prolactin-secreting adenomas resistant to dopamine agonists.
