How to treat recurrent ACTH-type pituitary tumors

ACTH-type pituitary tumors are generally referred to as adrenocorticotropin-secreting pituitary tumors, and recurrence can be treated with medication, surgery, and radiation therapy. The main treatment for recurrence of ACTH type pituitary tumor is similar to the initial treatment. 1. Drug therapy: dopamine agonists (e.g. bromocriptine) and growth inhibitor analogs (e.g. octreotide) can be used under the guidance of doctors. 2. Surgery: Transnasal butterfly microsurgery, transfrontal craniotomy and other surgical treatments can be taken. 3. Radiation therapy: Radiation irradiation can be used. This treatment is suitable for patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery or have contraindications to surgery. It is suggested that patients should consult doctor in time if there is recurrence of adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting pituitary tumor, and the doctor will treat the patients according to their conditions. Avoid delaying the condition and causing serious consequences.
