Dopamine agonists are efficacious in about 80% to 90% of patients with prolactinoma, leading to reduction of serum prolactin levels and tumor dimensions. Neurosurgery, mainly by the transsphenoidal route,

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2008
Any process interfering with dopamine synthesis, its transport to the pituitary gland, or its action at the level of lactotroph dopamine receptors can cause hyperprolactinemia. As described in this article, considering the complexity of prolactin regulation, many factors could cause hyperprolactinemia, and hyperprolactinemia can have clinical effects ...
