What Is the Treatment of Pituitary Gigantism?
Pituitary gigantism arises from excess growth hormone secretion beginning before epiphyseal closure. Management requires a structured, evidence-based approach tailored to the clinical presentation.
Treatment Approach
Intervention involves either a targeted radiation technique or a direct surgical approach — the full protocol defines which is appropriate and under what clinical conditions each applies.
Complete regimen, selection criteria, and decision algorithm are available in the full protocol.
