Is it possible to just wait for death in the late stage of pituitary tumor

Pituitary tumor is a brain tumor. Many people have delayed the best treatment time and developed into the late stage of pituitary tumor, which brought great pain to our family. Many people asked me if the late stage of pituitary tumor can only wait to die. I have collected a lot of information. Now let's learn about this question with everyone!

Although death is cruel, we must face it frankly. When pituitary tumors deteriorate to the late stage, it will inevitably bring a lot of pain to the patient's body and mind. With the current medical level, it is not necessary to just "surrender", endure the pain silently, and accept the coming of death. Patients should establish a positive and optimistic attitude and choose scientific and reasonable methods according to their actual condition. These are important measures to reduce pain and prolong life.

Since late-stage pituitary tumors do not mean death, how can we treat them to relieve pain and prolong life? Let's take a look at the treatment methods:

1Surgical treatment: mainly includes craniotomy and transsphenoidal surgery.

2 Radiation therapy: It has a certain effect on pituitary adenomas. It can control the development of tumors, sometimes shrink tumors, and improve visual field, but it cannot cure the disease fundamentally.

3. Drug treatment: Bromocriptine is a semi-synthetic ergotamine alkaloid that can stimulate the dopamine receptors of pituitary cells to reduce the effect of prolactin in the blood. Taking bromocriptine can shrink prolactin adenoma, restore menstruation and ovulation, and inhibit pathological galactorrhea, but bromocriptine cannot fundamentally cure prolactin adenoma. After stopping the drug, it can continue to grow and symptoms will reappear. In addition, bromocriptine can also alleviate symptoms of growth hormone cell adenoma, but the dosage is large and the efficacy is poor.

The above is a detailed introduction to whether patients with advanced pituitary tumors can only wait to die. I hope it will be helpful to the majority of patients with advanced pituitary tumors. The treatment of pituitary tumors is a long-term, arduous, and complex system project. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, do not lose heart, and find ways to prolong life.
