Can pheochromocytoma be completely eliminated?

If pheochromocytoma is benign, it can be completely eliminated through surgical treatment; however, if it is malignant, it cannot be completely eliminated, and even affects the survival time.
1. Pheochromocytoma is mainly treated by surgery, but before surgery, it needs high sodium diet and increased fluid intake to prevent the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension; use alpha-blockers such as prazosin and calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine to control the blood pressure, in order to prepare for the surgery, and it can be cured by surgery in general.
2. However, if the tumor is malignant pheochromocytoma, it may not be completely removed by surgery alone, and chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, etc., is still needed, but severe patients may have their lives endangered by the aggravation of the disease within a few months.
If you are suffering from pheochromocytoma, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment in time, and the drugs mentioned above should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
