[Endocrine function in the late period after radiation therapy of acromegaly].
The results of treatment of pituitary adenomas manifested by the acromegaly syndrome with catamnestic follow-up of up to 10 years are discussed. The dynamics of changes in acromegaly and various endocrine functions with the use of distance gamma therapy and proton beam irradiation were studied in the comparative aspect, on the basis of which the indications for these methods of radiotherapy in acromegaly were specified.
