Must pituitary tumor be operated on

summary

Pituitary tumor is a tumor that grows in the brain, so it is inevitable for patients to have some worries when they are treated by surgery. After all, the risk of surgery is relatively large, so many patients do not want to be treated by surgery. Let's talk about whether pituitary tumor must be operated.

Must pituitary tumor be operated on

First: pituitary tumor, is a common brain tumor. It is generally believed that as long as the tumor is long, the operation is good. However, pituitary tumor is a brain tumor, surgery is not a simple thing, the risk factor of surgery is very high, it is very easy to cause serious damage to the brain, and the recurrence rate is very high. At present, with the development of tumor treatment methods, many studies have proved that. Radiation therapy, CyberKnife treatment, brain tumors have absolute advantages.

Second: CyberKnife treatment of pituitary tumor features: higher accuracy: before CyberKnife treatment, the positioning of patients is guided by CT image, with high accuracy, and the average error is not more than 1 mm. Large dose: the radiation dose of CyberKnife treatment is larger. Due to its high precision and precise treatment, the CyberKnife with large dose has stronger killing power to cancer cells and avoids tumor metastasis and recurrence, so the treatment effect is guaranteed.

Third: short treatment time: CyberKnife treatment only needs 3 to 5 times, once a day, about an hour at a time. Due to the large dose, it greatly reduces the treatment time and saves the treatment time of patients. Small trauma, small side effects: CyberKnife treatment does not require anesthetics, no surgery, no bleeding, the patient is completely awake, small treatment, plus CyberKnife has a respiratory tracking system, always tracking the position of the tumor due to respiratory movement, which plays a very good role in protecting the normal tissue around the tumor, so the side effects are very small.

matters needing attention

Whether patients with pituitary tumor surgery should also depend on their personal wishes, as well as the development of the disease, which can only be determined after the professional hospital examination, so it is recommended that patients should take appropriate treatment after timely examination.
