Can prolactinopituitary tumors be cured?

Prolactinomatous pituitary tumors can be cured. Because prolactinomatous pituitary tumors are the only form of tumor that can be treated with oral medications, they are currently treated primarily with oral bromocriptine. However, it is important to note that the oral dose of bromocriptine and the number of daily oral doses are closely related to the level of prolactin in pituitary tumors, so frequent hospital visits are often made during the treatment process to clarify the trend of changes and thus determine the oral bromocriptine dose. If oral bromocriptine has no significant effect for more than six months, the tumor is still present and the prolactin remains high, it needs to be treated by surgical intervention and after the surgery, the appropriate radiotherapy treatment is decided according to the specific pathological type. However, in the later stages is a relatively regular trend of changes that can be simply predicted, but definitely cannot fundamentally determine the effectiveness of treatment by a combination of drugs plus surgery.
