How to treat pheochromocytoma

There are several ways to treat pheochromocytoma: 1. Surgery, laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery to remove the adrenal gland with pheochromocytoma. The surgery is easy and effective, but the individual needs to take medications before surgery that help lower blood pressure before surgery, such as alpha blockers, which keep smaller arteries and veins open and relaxed to improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Undertake a high salt diet to encourage more fluid absorption in the blood vessels to prevent hypotension during and after surgery.2. Undertake anti-cancer treatments, such as radionuclide therapy, which combines compounds attached to adrenal tumors with radioactive iodine to deliver radiation therapy to specific sites and kill cancer cells. In addition, chemotherapy can also kill fast-growing cancer cells, and performing targeted cancer therapy can inhibit the spread of cancer cells.
