| | Prolactinoma - New Treatments, January 15, 2005 |
 | | Because of the excellent therapeutic responses to transsphenoidal surgery and medical therapy, radiotherapy is generally not considered as a primary treatment for prolactinomas. | | | Although such approval for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia is lacking, there is considerable experience with its use in patients with prolactinoma, and such use is well-documented in the literature. | | | Although the emphasis in this article is on medical therapy, various treatment modalities are available for prolactinomas. |

| | Most prolactinomas are completely curable with medication or surgery. | | | If medical therapy is not tolerated or fails to control the growth of the prolactinoma, then surgery is required. | | | One or two individuals in 10,000 will have a prolactinoma. |

| | These are not all of the papers published on the subject, they have been selected to give the prolactinoma patient and/or his or her family (or even general practitioner) an overview of treatment by medication and surgery. | | | This web site will be of interest to prolactinoma patients, their families and doctors, and to medical students. | | | I am not a doctor, and have no medical training, but somebody close to me, a family member, has a prolactinoma and polycystic ovaries so I developed an interest in finding and reading medical research on the subject. |

| | If drug therapy for the treatment of prolactinoma is unsuccessful or not tolerated, surgery may be an option for the removal of a pituitary tumor. | | | In addition, your doctor may refer you for more extensive testing with a doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the endocrine system (endocrinologist). | | | Treatment for prolactinoma consists of two main therapies: |

| | The chances of this happening depend on the size of the prolactinoma; if it is very small or quite large, then the surgical results may not be so good and you may need bromocriptine anyway. | | | This is an important point because may women with a prolactinoma will be taking the drug with the specific aim of falling pregnant. | | | Again, even these prolactinomas can usually be treated effectively with tablets, rather than surgery. |

| | News - Case Report of Post-Hemorrhage Prolactinoma Regrowth That Was Resistant to Dopamine Agonists |
| | WASHINGTON, DC -- May 24, 2005 -- "Prolactinomas can potentially regrow and become unresponsive to dopamine agonists," according to Khurshid Ahmad Khan, MD, a fellow in clinical endocrinology at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, United States. | | | However, during the subsequent 18 months, hyperprolactinemia gradually recurred despite continued therapy with bromocriptine 10 to 15 mg/d, but without associated enlargement of the sellar mass, visual field changes, or headache. | | | Prolactinoma resistance to dopamine agonist therapy is reported at 5% to 18%, and options are to switch from one dopamine agonist to another or raise the dose. |

| | Similarly, post-menopausal estrogen replacement is safe in patients with prolactinoma treated with medical therapy or surgery. | | | This type of drug is called a dopamine agonist. | | | Bromocriptine or cabergoline treatment may be renewed and additional treatment may be required if the patient develops symptoms from growth of the tumor during pregnancy. |

| | In summary, cabergoline appears to be a more effective and better tolerated dopamine agonist in the therapy of prolactinomas. | | | For this reason all patients enrolled are required to have had no prior therapy with any dopamine agonists, in order to avoid studying patients who have already experienced some tumor shrinkage with other agents. | | | Cabergoline - A New Dopamine Agonist for the Therapy of Prolactinoma - Neuroendocrine Clinical Center and Pituitary Tumor Center at MGH/Harvard |

| | The residual lesion, if prolactinoma, can be treated with medication or radiosurgery or expectant follow up, depending on what the patient can afford. | | | However, I feel that this is most likely a prolactinoma. | | | However, if this is not, there is a fair chance of recurrence and the patient must be followed up carefully. |

| | See your health care provider if symptoms suggestive of prolactinoma develop. | | | If you have had a prolactinoma in the past, call your health care provider if you experience recurrence of the symptoms. | | | By contrast, prolactinomas in men occur in older patients and can grow to a large size before any symptoms occur. |

| | Fortunately, in most cases a prolactinoma can be treated with a class of medications called dopamine agonists. | | | In some cases, the prolactinoma will not respond to medication or the patient is intolerant to the medication's side effects; in these cases surgery may be indicated if mass effects of the tumor are a concern. | | | As mentioned above, most prolactinomas are sensitive to dopamine agonist treatment. |

| | Lower prolactin levels may be seen in patients with small prolactinomas or in those with other conditions (see above). | | | Small prolactinomas in young women may not require specific treatment unless infertility or galactorrhea are of concern. | | | Larger tumors in women and tumors of any size in men are best treated with medications: Bromocriptine (Parlodel) Pergolide (Permax) or cabergoline (Dostinex) are used for this purpose. |

| | — Bromocriptine has been used for 20 years to treat prolactinomas. | | | When cabergoline treatment is stopped, high prolactin levels may recur, but in one study, no tumor regrowth was seen. | | | While it is usually very effective in lowering blood prolactin levels, it can cause side effects, including dizziness, nausea, and nasal stuffiness. |
