Restoring hope, restoring health.
Pituitarism is a common intracranial tumor, which may be related to genetic factors, hypothalamic lesions, gene mutations and signal transduction abnormalities, external factors, etc. It can be treated with drugs, surgery, radiation therapy, etc.(MEN1) and other genetic diseases can increase the risk of pituitary adenomas. 2. Hypothalamic lesions Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) or corticotropin-releasing hormone 3. Gene mutation and abnormal signal transduction, abnormal growth factors, cytokines, and cell cycle regulation mechanism may provide soil for the occurrence of pituitary adenomas. 4. External factors such as radiation exposure and estrogen application are also considered to be related to the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas. For prolactinomas and growth hormone pituitary tumors, dopamine receptor agonists, such as bromocriptine and octreotide, are commonly used to control hormone secretion and reduce tumor volume. 2. Surgery is one of the main methods to treat pituitary adenomas, especially for patients with large tumors, compression symptoms or ineffective drug therapy. Surgical methods include transsphenoidal surgery and craniotomy. The former is less invasive and faster to recover, while the latter is suitable for complex or huge pituitary adenomas. 3. Radiation therapy is suitable for patients with pituitary adenomas that cannot be completely removed or recurred by surgery. Radiotherapy kills cancer cells through high-energy rays and controls tumor growth and spread. It can be used alone or in combination with surgery. Comprehensive treatment: According to the patient's specific conditions, doctors may formulate a comprehensive treatment including drug treatment, surgical treatment and radiation treatment. Treatment options, the causes of pituitary tumors are complex and diverse, and treatment methods vary from individual to individual. Patients should actively seek medical treatment and cooperate with doctors for systematic treatment to improve quality of life and control disease progression.
