Pituitary Tumor Treatment

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth that develops in the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. These tumors can affect hormone production and cause a variety of symptoms and complications.

The diagnosis of a pituitary tumor is made through a combination of medical history review, physical examination, hormonal evaluation, and imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. Additional tests, such as a visual field assessment or a biopsy, may be required to gather more information and confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment name : Cost range

Pituitary Tumor Treatment : Rs.288600 to Rs.384800

Radiotherapy : Rs.186480 to Rs.248640

Stereotactic Radio Surgery : Rs.284160 to Rs.378880

Pituitary tumor treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, radiation oncologists, and other specialists. The specific composition of the team depends on the individual case and the treatment approach chosen.

• Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery: This minimally invasive surgical approach uses an endoscope inserted through the nose to access and remove or treat pituitary tumors.

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Techniques such as Gamma Knife or CyberKnife deliver highly focused radiation to target and destroy the tumor cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

• Medications: Certain medications, such as hormone replacement therapy or medications that target specific receptors on the tumor cells, may be used to manage hormone imbalances or slow tumor growth.
