Q: Does a pituitary adenoma go away?

Pituitary tumors require a proper treatment strategy which can either include a surgery for the removal of the tumor (endoscopic surgery, craniotomy, etc), radiation therapies to shrink the tumor size and prevent it from growing further or a drug therapy which can control the additional problems caused due to the tumor. Without a proper treatment it is not possible to be cured of the tumor.

Q: What is the survival rate of patients suffering from pituitary tumors?

For patients whose tumor is diagnosed the 5 year survival rate is around 97%.

International Platform

Pituitary adenomas are tumors that grow on the pituitary gland. These tumors are mostly benign in nature. But as the adenoma grows in size it starts to put pressure on the nearby nerves and other structures disrupting important functions. Pituitary adenomas are the 3rd most prevalent type of intracranial tumors. For treating tumors like pituitary adenoma Turkish Hospitals offer patients a wide range of diagnostic and treatment techniques resulting in higher treatment success rates.

What makes Turkey a better choice for treatment of pituitary adenoma?

World-renowned Hospitals

Turkish Hospitals are well-known for following the European treatment guidelines and are JCI and ISO accredited. These parameters indicate that the clinics are well-suited to perform the treatment of intricate tumors like pituitary adenoma. Clinics like Memorial Bahceliveler, LIV Ulus, Anadolu Hospital, Medical Park Hospitals, etc are world leaders and among the top choices of patients.

Interdisciplinary approach

Treating such types of tumors requires the expertise of specialists from different departments like Neurosurgery, ENT, Oncology, Endocrinology, etc. All Turkish Hospitals ensure that their patient’s case is discussed in Board Meeting which involve experts from the following departments.

Latest Treatment and Diagnostic Techniques

Patients going to Turkey for treatment of pituitary adenomas are offered techniques like CT, MRI, etc for accurate diagnosis of the disease. For treatment of such tumors Turkish doctors use treatment methods like endoscopic tumor removal techniques, craniotomy, radiosurgery, etc.

Experienced doctors

Turkish doctors are famous worldwide for their particular expertise, high treatment success rates, involvement in research activities, etc. Doctors like Dr. Mustafa Kemal Hamamcıoğlu, Dr. Selçuk Göçmen, Dr, Selcuk Pecker, etc are among the top-rated doctors.

How do Turkish hospitals diagnose pituitary adenoma?

Turkish doctors perform different tests to confirm the presence of pituitary adenoma in patients. Some of the frequently performed tests that patients undergo include:

Diagnostic imaging tests: These include MRI, CT scan and PET-CT scan. Undergoing these imaging tests is important because it helps to visualize and localize the tumor on the pituitary gland.
Hormonal testing: The fluctuations in the levels of hormones like GH, PRL, cortisol, etc. helps the doctor determine the abnormalities related to the pituitary gland.
Vision test: Patients who complain of vision-related issues undergo an extensive ophthalmological examination to determine if the vision issue is because of the pressure of the tumor on the optic nerve or not.

How is pituitary adenoma treated in Turkey?

After the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma, Turkish doctors plan a comprehensive treatment for patients which is as per the patients needs. The treatment is finalized after an interdisciplinary board meeting where specialists from different departments give their opinion and look at the aspects before reaching on a final decision. Some of the commonly used treatment methods in Turkish hospitals for the treatment of pituitary adenoma include:

Transsphenoidal resection of the pituitary adenoma

This is one of the most widely used procedures for the removal of pituitary tumors. The technique involves removal of the tumor through the sphenoid sinus. Neurosurgeons make an incision into the nasal cavity to reach the pituitary gland (incisions made through drills or other instruments). Next the tumor is removed through small surgical tools or through an endoscope. The resection of pituitary tumors using an endoscope is gaining popularity with time. This technique is called endonasal endoscopic surgery. The use of the endoscopic surgery offers two advantages

Better visualization of the tumor
Better tumor removal

Craniotomy

Turkish neurosurgeons opt for this technique if the tumors cannot be removed through the endonasal route. Such tumors are large and require surgery through which the surgeon can easily visualize, access and remove the tumor.

Drug Therapy

For some patients neuro-endocrinologists recommend a drug therapy which aims to control the symptoms caused due to the tumor and offer relief to the patient. Apart from that the drug therapy controls the excessive hormone production, reduces the size of the pituitary tumor and acts as substitute for certain hormones (which the body cannot procedure due to the tumor)

RadioTherapy

Turkish radiation oncologists perform radiation therapy techniques like radiotherapy, IMRT, etc to target the pituitary tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a more effective treatment option since it helps to deliver more potent and targeted radiations to the pituitary tumor.

Cost of Pituitary Adenoma Diagnostics & Treatment in Turkey

Procedure	Cost
Standard External Beam Radiotherapy	from $21000
Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenoma Surgery	from $9,000
Proton Beam Treatment	from $8000
