The cure for cancer is still some way off but it is something that science expects to happen possibly within the next few decades; medical research continues to advance in it’s war with this disease that plagues humanity.

Difficult to live with, and experimenting with both traditional medications and natural

Additional options are likely to come along.
A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the pituitary gland.
