Gender differences in the prevalence, clinical features and response to cabergoline in hyperprolactinemia

Gender differences in tumor size are supposed to exist in hyperprolactinemia since microadenomas are more commonly found in women and macroadenomas in men. Whether this reflects only a delay in diagnosis in men or a true gender difference in tumor pathogenesis is still unclear. To prospectively anal...
