What is the more reliable way to treat pituitary tumors

What is the more reliable treatment for pituitary tumors? Pituitary tumors are a benign tumor that grows on the pituitary gland. Although the pituitary gland is a very small organ, it plays a very important role in the body and secretes pituitary hormone to maintain the normal functioning of the body. After a pituitary tumor occurs, it is very harmful to the body. So, what is the more reliable treatment for pituitary tumors? Here we will share with you some effective methods for treating pituitary tumors.

1. Drug treatment: It can control the symptoms caused by pituitary tumors, but it cannot cure pituitary tumors fundamentally. After stopping the medication, the tumor may continue to grow and the symptoms will reappear. This also affects the cost of treatment. Moreover, patients generally need to take medication for life. The cost of treatment is a bottomless pit. The most important thing is that drug treatment is difficult to achieve good results.

2. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy can be divided into precision radiotherapy and ordinary radiotherapy. Ordinary radiotherapy can usually control the development of tumors and reduce the size of tumors, but due to its low precision, it is easy to cause some unnecessary complications. Precision radiotherapy is very different from ordinary radiotherapy, and the treatment accuracy is extremely high. CyberKnife is a relatively good radiotherapy. CyberKnife treats pituitary tumors. Under the guidance of intelligent imaging, the robot's arm uses multiple beams of radiation to accurately and non-invasively eliminate tumors. These rays will focus on the lesion area, forming a very high dose of irradiation, and the surrounding normal tissues will not be harmed. After about 1-5 treatments, the tumor will be completely destroyed. However, the cost of treatment is higher than that of ordinary radiotherapy.

3. Surgical treatment: mainly includes tumor resection and transsphenoidal surgery. Surgical treatment has strict requirements on the hospital's technical equipment and the experience level of experts. The charging standards of hospitals of different regions and grades are different.

Clinically, it is found that some patients with pituitary tumors know that they have pituitary tumors, but they do not care too much about it. In fact, these patients with pituitary tumors who do not pay attention to their own health will often suffer from adverse consequences that will make them regret for the rest of their lives.
