Acromegaly and gigantism:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment aims to curb overproduction of hGH through removal of the underlying tumor by cranial or transsphenoidal hypophysectomy or pituitary radiation therapy. In acromegaly, surgery is mandatory when a tumor causes blindness or other severe neurologic disturbances. Postoperative therapy often requires replacement of thyroid, cortisone, and gonadal hormones. Adjunctive treatment may include administration of bromocriptine or cabergoline and octreotide and postoperative conventional proton beam radiation, which inhibit hGH synthesis. The therapeutic goal is to reach and maintain hGH levels less than 2 ng/dl, because at that level, life expectancy is restored to that of age-matched controls.
