Executive summary of the expert consensus document from the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery and the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition: Clinical recommendations on the perioperative management of pituitary tumors
Pituitary tumors (PT) account for 15% of intracranial tumors affect 10.7%–14.4% of the population although the incidence of clinically relevant PT is 5.1 cases/100,000 inhabitants. Surgical treatment is indicated in PTs with hormone hypersecretion (except for prolactin-producing PTs) and those with...

Summary: | Pituitary tumors (PT) account for 15% of intracranial tumors affect 10.7%–14.4% of the population although the incidence of clinically relevant PT is 5.1 cases/100,000 inhabitants. Surgical treatment is indicated in PTs with hormone hypersecretion (except for prolactin-producing PTs) and those with local compressive or global neurological symptoms. Multidisciplinary care, is essential for patients with PTs, preferably delivered in a center of excellence and based on a well-defined care protocol. In order to facilitate and standardize the clinical procedures for this type of tumor, this document gathers the positioning of the Neuroendocrinology Knowledge Area of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery (SENEC) on the management of patients with PTs and their preoperative, surgical and postoperative follow-up.
Los tumores hipofisarios (TH) suponen el 15% de los tumores intracraneales y afectan del 10,7 al 14,4% de la población, si bien la incidencia de TH clínicamente relevantes es de 5,1 casos/100.000 habitantes. El tratamiento quirúrgico está indicado en los TH que cursan con hipersecreción hormonal (a excepción de los TH productores de prolactina), así como en aquellos con clínica compresiva local o neurológica global. Los pacientes con TH requieren una atención multidisciplinar, idealmente en un centro de excelencia y basada en un protocolo asistencial bien definido. Con el objetivo de facilitar y estandarizar la práctica clínica ante este tipo de tumores, el presente documento recoge el posicionamiento del Área de Conocimiento de Neuroendocrinología de la Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición (SEEN) y la Sociedad Española de Neurocirugía (SENEC) sobre el manejo y el seguimiento prequirúrgico, quirúrgico y posquirúrgico del paciente con un TH. |
