How to treat aggressive pituitary tumors

Invasive pituitary tumor is a common clinical disease with many causes, the most common of which are genetic factors, hypothalamic factors and gene factors. After the disease, patients will experience symptoms such as headaches and optic nerve pathway compression. Some patients will also experience symptoms such as diabetes insipidus and temperature regulation disorders. This disease is very harmful and measures should be taken to treat it in time.

1. Bromocriptine treatment:

Bromocriptine is a commonly used drug for the treatment of invasive pituitary tumors and should be used from a small dose. If used too much at one time, it can cause adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, acid reflux, fatigue, etc.

2. Cabergoline treatment:

Cabergoline has similar efficacy to bromocriptine and is an alternative to bromocriptine, but it is more effective, lasts longer, and has fewer adverse reactions than bromocriptine. It can be used if the patient is resistant or intolerant to bromocriptine.

3. Surgical treatment:

If the invasive pituitary tumor is relatively large, it can be surgically removed. During the surgical removal, the pituitary tissue should be preserved as much as possible to avoid hypopituitarism and endocrine disorders. If the patient's condition is serious and symptoms of cranial nerve compression occur, a pituitary resection should be performed in a timely manner.

The treatment methods for invasive pituitary tumors are as described above. Patients should choose appropriate treatment methods according to their actual conditions. If necessary, comprehensive treatment can also be carried out. After treatment, this disease can generally be cured, but there is a possibility of recurrence, so patients should visit the hospital regularly to understand the development of the disease. While treating this disease, pay attention to care, rest more, ensure adequate sleep, and proper physical exercise can enhance the body's immunity.
