What is the cure rate of early pituitary tumors?

Pituitary tumor is a brain tumor. Its incidence is getting higher and higher. Many patients with early pituitary tumors will lose confidence after knowing the disease, and worry whether it will endanger their lives. In fact, the cure rate of early pituitary tumors is still very high if they are treated in time. I have collected a lot of information. Now I will share with you how high the cure rate of early pituitary tumors is!

If you want to know how high the cure rate of early pituitary tumors is, you should first understand what treatments there are for pituitary tumors. Let's take a look:

1. Medication: Western medicine is only effective for some patients. It can relieve symptoms to varying degrees, but it cannot cure the disease. Symptoms will recur after medication is stopped, and the tumor will continue to grow.

2. Surgery: The surgical effect of pituitary adenoma is average, but the recurrence rate is high. The recurrence rate of simple resection can reach 60%. Its recurrence is related to the following factors: incomplete surgical resection, residual tumor tissue; aggressive growth of tumor, involving dura mater, cavernous sinus or bone tissue; multiple pituitary microadenomas; and pituitary cell hyperplasia.

3. Radiation: X-knife and R-knife are used for pituitary cancer with incomplete surgery or recurrence. Although radiotherapy has a certain effect on pituitary tumors, its dosage, efficacy, and damage to hypopituitarism, optic chiasm, optic nerve, and surrounding vascular and neural structures need further study in clinical practice.

The above is the treatment method for early pituitary tumors. Patients with early pituitary tumors should go to a regular hospital for examination in time. The doctor will develop a reasonable treatment plan based on your situation. Actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, strengthen physical exercise in daily life, enhance your physical fitness, improve your resistance to disease, enhance immune function, prevent viral infection, reduce and avoid exposure to radioactive radiation, especially during the period of bone development in adolescents, eliminate the patient's fear, anxiety, and even despair. Early pituitary tumors can be cured quickly and the cure rate is very high.
