First, the choice of treatment is mainly based on the type of pituitary tumor. Drug therapy is the first choice for PRL tumor, while surgery is the first choice for GH tumor, ACTH tumor, TSH tumor and nonfunctional macroadenoma. Patients with GH tumor whose GH and IGF-1 levels continue to rise after operation should be given octreotide or dopamine receptor agonist.

Second, radiotherapy can be considered for patients with poor drug treatment effect. ACTH tumor, TSH tumor and nonfunctional macroadenoma can also be treated with radiotherapy. There is an adjuvant therapy for ACTH tumor, that is, ketoconazole or other corticosteroid synthetase inhibitors are given to inhibit the excessive production of cortisol to relieve the clinical symptoms.

Third: surgical treatment. At present, the treatment of pituitary tumor is mainly surgery, supplemented by drug therapy and radiotherapy. Pituitary adenomas are located in sellar region, surrounded by optic nerve, internal carotid artery, hypothalamus and other important nerve structures. Tumors larger than 3cm in diameter that adhere to the optic nerve or have impaired vision can be treated by surgery first. Surgery must achieve full decompression of the optic nerve and gamma knife treatment after surgery. However, recurrence is still possible after surgery, so regular review is needed.
