摘要

垂体腺瘤最近被重新归类为 "神经内分泌肿瘤"，现在被认为是癌症。本文介绍了这一变化的演变过程和理由。目前在 "良性脑肿瘤 "条款下承保垂体腺瘤的重大疾病保单现在必须进行修改，以反映这一新的分类。这一变化也引发了关于重大疾病保险中 "良性 "和 "肿瘤 "这两个词的使用问题。

From Benign to Malignant: The Arrival of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNETs).

Pituitary adenomas were recently reclassified as "neuroendocrine tumors," and are now considered to be cancers. The evolution and justification for this change are described. Critical illness policies, which currently provide coverage of pituitary adenomas under the "Benign Brain Tumor" provision must now be modified to reflect this new taxonomy. This change also prompts questions about the use of the words 'benign' and 'tumor' in critical illness policies.
