متن کاملLong-term octreotide therapy in growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas: evaluation with serial MR.
PURPOSE To compare the changes in tumor volume with length of octreotide treatment in patients with acromegaly, to analyze signal alterations of the pituitary mass during treatment, and to determine an optimal MR imaging protocol. METHODS Eighteen patients with growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenomas were studied with MR imaging before and during octreotide treatment. The length of f...
متن کاملEvaluation of Factors Affecting Outcome in Growth Hormone–Secreting Pituitary Adenomas
Functioning or hormonally active pituitary adenomas present a special challenge as they can present either with features of an intracranial mass, endocrinologic features, or both. Predicting outcome in these tumors is of extreme clinical importance in guiding the intensity of clinical, radiologic, and hormonal follow-up and the need for adjuvant therapy after surgical resection.
