Description
Effective tumour control was achieved in the majority of large pituitary tumours long-term. Combined treatment was superior to primary radiation therapy with a tumour control rate of 93% as against 66%. Opthalmological symptoms were improved in 70 to 90%. Cephalalgias, as a rule, regressed completely. Hormonal activity was influenced in most acromegaly patients at a tumour control rate of 69%. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Bei grossen Hypophysentumoren konnte in der Mehrzahl langfristig eine effektive Tumorkontrolle erzielt werden. Die kombinierte Behandlung war der primaeren Strahlentherapie mit einer Tumorkontrollrate von 93% gegenueber 66% ueberlegen. Ophthalmologische Symptome konnten in 70 bis 90% gebessert werden. Zephalgien waren in der Regel vollstaendig ruecklaeufig. Bei akromegalen Patienten liess sich bei einer Tumorkontrollrate von 69% meist eine Beeinflussung der hormonellen Aktivitaet erzielen.
