Can a mid- to late-stage pituitary tumor be cured?

Although pituitary tumors are benign tumors of the pituitary gland, the early symptoms of pituitary tumors are not very obvious, which leads many patients to not take it seriously and wait until they can no longer bear it before seeking treatment. Unintentionally, the pituitary tumors reach the middle and late stages. Such results make patients and their families very worried. So, can the middle and late stage pituitary tumors still be cured?

Mid- to late-stage pituitary tumors can be completely cured with appropriate treatment. The patient's mentality is very important, and you should never give up easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up treatment.

Let us introduce the treatment methods for mid- and late-stage diseases:

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: As a traditional therapy, traditional Chinese medicine should be used as an auxiliary treatment measure in tumor treatment due to its slow efficacy, low cure rate and other factors, and cannot be used as the main treatment method.

2. Drug treatment: It is widely used because of its wide application. The treatment features are fast absorption by the human body, and most of the drug enters the brain. However, relatively speaking, hyperprolactinemia may recur and the tumor volume may increase again after stopping the drug, so it is necessary to take the drug for a long time and cannot be stopped.

3. Surgical treatment: There are two types of surgery, one is to remove the tumor through the forehead, and the other is to reach the pituitary tumor directly through the nasal passage. Due to the complexity of the surgical operation, high technical difficulty, high risk, residual tumor tissue, and high recurrence rate, the treatment cannot be repeated.

4. Gamma Knife Treatment: Currently, Gamma Knife is a common treatment method for pituitary tumors. Because head surgery is risky, Gamma Knife can treat pituitary tumors without surgery. It has many advantages such as painless, non-invasive and bleeding, and is accepted by the majority of patients.

I believe you have a deeper understanding of how to treat pituitary tumors. No matter what stage the pituitary tumor is in, the right treatment is the key. Do not seek medical treatment indiscriminately, which will not only waste money but also delay the treatment of the disease.
