What is the cure rate of pituitary tumors

With the continuous development of medicine, there are many ways to treat diseases. Due to the particularity of each patient, treatment is based on the condition. When patients choose different treatment methods, they worry about whether they can be cured if they have pituitary tumors. So let's find out what the cure rate of pituitary tumors is.

Pituitary tumors have always been a disease that has a great impact on the health of patients. Once the disease develops into a malignant state, there is currently no good treatment method, so many people are paying attention to the cure rate of brain tumors. More than 80% of brain tumors are benign, and malignant brain cancer accounts for only a small part. As long as the location of the brain tumor is appropriate, we will generally arrange for surgery first and remove it as much as possible. Then the next step of treatment will be decided based on the pathological results. If it is a malignant tumor, postoperative radiotherapy is generally required. Today's radiotherapy technology is very advanced, and brain tumors can be cured. As for whether chemotherapy can be performed, the blood-brain barrier is damaged after radiotherapy, so it can also be done. And chemotherapy can also increase the efficacy of radiotherapy.

Now there are some natural medicines that can also pass through the blood-brain barrier to reach the tumor site and treat the tumor. It has been used in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat brain gliomas to improve the patient's immunity, reduce the damage of radiotherapy and chemotherapy substances and drugs to normal human cells, and relieve the patient's pain. It also has the effect of inhibiting the growth and spread of cancer cells, inducing apoptosis of cancer cells, and reversing the abnormal differentiation of cancer cells. In combination with Western medicine treatment, it can play a good role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity, thereby alleviating the patient's pain, prolonging the patient's life, and improving the quality of life. Pituitary tumors are quite common. Pituitary tumors should have the function of secreting hormones, so there are two main clinical manifestations. One is the expansion effect caused by tumor space-occupying lesions, and the other is abnormal hormone secretion, or excessive secretion, or the enlargement of the tumor compresses the normal pituitary tissue and reduces hormone secretion, which manifests as secondary gonadal, adrenal cortex, thyroid function hypofunction, etc. Different pituitary tumors have different manifestations. For example, growth hormone tumors may cause acromegaly and gigantism; prolactinomas may cause amenorrhea-galactia syndrome and infertility in women, and hypogonadism and impotence in men; thyroid-stimulating tumors may cause hyperthyroidism. If the tumor compresses and affects local tissues and adjacent organs, it will cause corresponding symptoms.
