[The place of radiotherapy in the treatment of pituitary adenomas].
The paper is devoted to an analysis of the present-day role of radiotherapy of pituitary adenomas with relation to tumor spreading and the patient's neuroendocrine status. The authors made use of data obtained from the N. N. Burdenko Research Institute of Neurosurgery, USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. They analyzed the results of gamma-beam therapy, proton-beam therapy and radiosurgical implantation of 90Y granules used alone as well as in combination with surgical intervention. Based on the analysis of the clinical data on 320 patients, a conclusion is made on the indications for one or another method depending on the stage and course of the disease.
