What are the best treatments for pituitary tumors?

Due to lack of exercise, not often getting sun exposure, and not paying attention to diet, many people have become acidic and prone to various diseases. Pituitary tumors, a disease that was not often heard of before, are now well known because of the increasing incidence. Treatment after the disease is very important. So, what are the best treatments for pituitary tumors?

There are currently three main methods used to treat pituitary tumors: drug therapy, surgical treatment, and radiotherapy.

1. Drug treatment: It can control the symptoms caused by pituitary tumors, but it cannot cure pituitary tumors fundamentally. After stopping the medication, the tumor may continue to grow and the symptoms will reappear. This also affects the cost of treatment. Moreover, patients generally need to take medication for life. The cost of treatment is a bottomless pit. The most important thing is that drug treatment is difficult to achieve good results.

2. Surgical treatment: Patients with severe visual impairment, rapid deterioration of visual acuity, continued deterioration of visual acuity during or after radiotherapy, and patients with increased intracranial pressure need timely surgical treatment.

3. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy can be divided into precision radiotherapy and ordinary radiotherapy. Ordinary radiotherapy can control the development of tumors and reduce the size of tumors, but due to its low precision, it is easy to cause some unnecessary complications. Precision radiotherapy is very different from ordinary radiotherapy, and the treatment precision is extremely high. CyberKnife is a relatively good radiotherapy. CyberKnife treats pituitary tumors. Under the guidance of intelligent imaging, it uses the arm of a robot to accurately and non-invasively destroy the tumor with multiple beams of radiation. These rays will focus on the lesion area to form a very high dose of irradiation, and the surrounding normal tissues will not be harmed. After about 1-5 treatments, the tumor will be completely destroyed. However, the cost of treatment is higher than that of ordinary radiotherapy.

Pituitary tumors are not incurable. Our main focus is on preventing them. People with pituitary tumors should insist on using scientific methods to treat them and not treat them blindly.
