Almost all pituitary tumors are benign (not cancer) glandular tumors called pituitary adenomas. These tumors are called benign because they don't spread to other parts of the body, like cancers can. Pituitary cancers (called pituitary carcinomas) are very rare. But we have to look into the details of the problem.
Let's have a detailed discussion to Ensure proper treatment.

Hi if the luprodex was given long back and he is already 12 years and the family is not interested to take further injections, it is okay to not continue. There are usually not any reported side effects to discontinuing it, the puberty usually starts to progress again once the injection is discontinued. Would be happy to answer any further queries.

Hi
if your daughter started having signs of puberty before 8 years of age, that is considered early development. And then she might have to undergo some tests to find out why she entered puberty earlier. If it started after 8 years of age and has been progressing normally (not fast), then usually it's not a concern.
