How long can a person with growth hormone tumor live at most

Disease is a very common phenomenon in people's daily lives, and there are many types of diseases. Among the many diseases, tumors are the most frightening and panic-inducing. When many people learn that they have a tumor, their first reaction is that they will not live long, and they want to know how long they can live. So, how long can a person with a growth hormone tumor live at most?

First, how long can a person with a growth hormone tumor live at most? Pituitary tumors are also a type of intracranial tumor. After many patients are diagnosed with the tumor, they always want to know whether the pituitary tumor will affect their lifespan. If patients with pituitary tumors receive correct treatment and hormone replacement, their lifespan will not be shortened. Large-sample studies have shown that patients with pituitary tumors who receive conventional, conformal radiotherapy have increased morbidity (mortality) due to cerebrovascular disease (stroke).

Second, pituitary hormone deficiency requires hormone replacement therapy. All drug treatments must be carried out under guidance. In addition, standardized medical treatment and treatment monitoring are required. The vast majority of patients with pituitary tumors can engage in normal work and social activities. Other illnesses such as influenza, pneumonia or emergencies may require increased steroid doses. If a patient fails to provide a medical history when they present to a hospital, the doctor will not know the dose of steroids required. By paying attention to these important details, people with pituitary tumors should be able to live full and rewarding lives.

How long can a person with a growth hormone tumor live at most? Growth hormone cell adenomas account for 25% of pituitary adenomas. The early tumor is only a few millimeters in size and is mainly manifested by excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH). Minor patients may grow rapidly and even develop into giants. Although growth hormone adenoma is not difficult to diagnose, most patients are diagnosed 7 to 8 years after the onset of clinical symptoms. Untreated GH adenomas can lead to premature death, mostly from cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to seek treatment in a regular hospital. If a growth hormone tumor is found in the brain, it needs surgery to be eradicated, and the cost of treatment is 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If it is not treated and grows bigger, it will be very dangerous.
