Can pituitary tumor be cured

Method 1: drug therapy, because of its wide application group, is widely used. The treatment is characterized by rapid absorption of human body, most of the drugs enter the brain, but relatively after stopping the drug, hyperprolactinemia may recur and the tumor volume will increase again, so long-term medication must be taken instead of stopping the drug.

Method 2: surgical treatment, divided into craniotomy and transsphenoidal surgery two kinds, one is the subfrontal resection of tumor, one is through the nasal passage direct pituitary tumor. Due to the complex operation, high technical difficulty, high risk, residual tumor tissue, and high recurrence rate, can not be treated repeatedly.

Method 3: CyberKnife therapy, CyberKnife is a real-time image-guided equipment, using the body skeleton structure as the target orientation and beam correction system, in the "operation" process, it can track the patient's breathing in real time, and make dynamic radiation to the lesions in the body. The image-guided technology includes two groups of diagonal (X-ray 90 degree cross) X-ray image developers, which can detect the displacement of the target area on the X-ray image in real time during the "operation", and dynamically irradiate the chest and abdominal tumor moving with breathing, and carry out real-time compensation and correction, so as to ensure the accuracy of "operation", so that the radiation can completely irradiate the tumor without damaging other surrounding tissues, It has the effect of protecting normal tissue, so the patient will not have any big reaction, and the physical injury to the patient is relatively small.
