The survival time of pheochromocytoma patients needs to be determined according to the patient’s condition, treatment method and other factors. Pheochromocytoma, also known as adrenal medullary tumor, the tumor can release a large amount of catecholamines, causing patients to develop symptoms of various diseases such as hypertension and metabolic disorders, which are more harmful to the human body and have a higher mortality rate if not treated in time, and can easily affect the life expectancy of patients. The treatment of this disease is divided into conservative treatment and surgery. Implementing surgery after lowering blood pressure, improving cardiac function and correcting hypovolemia can achieve the purpose of cure and can effectively prolong the survival time of patients. If the tumor has metastasized and is inoperable, conservative treatment based on lowering blood pressure and improving cardiac function prolongs the patient’s life. Early detection and early treatment of pheochromocytoma have a greater impact on patients’ survival time. Patients need to take drugs on time and in the right amount according to medical prescriptions and review regularly so as to prolong their life span.
