For pituitary tumor patients, the successful completion of surgery is only the first step in a long journey, and regular review after surgery is also a very important part. Once the tumor is found to have signs of recurrence, early intervention or treatment can be carried out to nip the “enemy” in the bud! Review items 1. Blood sampling: to check the levels of various hormones and electrolytes in the blood, their abnormalities can indicate the possibility of low functioning or recurrence; 2. Nuclear magnetic field: to help determine whether the tumor has any residuals or has the possibility of re-growth. Review cycle Generally speaking, it is recommended to review 3 months and half a year after operation. The first review (the third month after surgery) is the most important. Of course, after 3 consecutive checkups, if the situation is stable, you only need to check once a year in the future. However, please always remember that the “enemy” may come back at any time, so regular checkups are important! Warm reminder: Usually during the initial review, the doctor will communicate with the patient about the next treatment plan and scheme according to the situation of surgical resection, especially some giant adenomas need further radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, so it is recommended that the patient review the examination in person.
