| Core Tip |
Transsphenoidal surgery is the most effective treatment for acromegaly. Alone, it could achieve a remission rate of 73%. However, when followed by medical therapy, the remission rates could reach 87%. The biochemical remission rates following surgery and medical therapy are highly variable depending on various clinical, biochemical, radiological, histopathological and genetic parameters. Earlier studies have identified tumor size, tumor invasion, T2-weighted hyperintensity, granulation, and pretreatment growth hormone and/or insulin-like growth factor 1 levels as important prognostic markers. A study published by Alvarez et al noted that preoperative pituitary neuroendocrine tumor volume could predict postoperative remission. |
