Pituitary cancer and co-carcinogenesis

Francis Peyton Rous' Co-carcinogenesis hypothesis: that a virus and a carcinogen together cause cancer.

pituitary cancer: 2 types

D2 receptors and pituitary cancer microadenomas : are these flu triggered?

Estrogen receptors and pituitary cancer : macroadenomas large : are these herpes triggered?

Herpes virus and pituitary cancer risk
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3917040/

so does herpes virus cause the macro while the flu causes the micro?

The carcinogen associated with pituitary tumors are nitrates.

Blood pressure medications has been associated with macroadenomas already.
