How long you can live with two recurrences of a pituitary tumor depends largely on the response to treatment after the recurrence. Typically, surgery is the treatment of choice for two recurrences of pituitary tumor, and routine radiation therapy is recommended after surgery. If the two recurrences are treated aggressively and no recurrence occurs, the patient’s life expectancy will not be significantly affected. If the second recurrence is not followed by aggressive treatment, how long the patient will live depends largely on how far the disease has progressed. If the disease progresses quickly, it is likely to cause acute symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and without medical intervention in such patients, the patient’s survival time is likely to be within two years of death. If a third recurrence occurs after two recurrences of a pituitary tumor, the prognosis for this group of patients may not be very good, and their survival time may be less than 10 years. How long you can live with two recurrences of pituitary tumor depends most of all on the response to treatment.
