Elucidating Clinical Queries for Tailored Therapy in Patients with Prolactinoma.
Prolactinomas are the most prevalent type of pituitary neuroendocrine adenomas, primarily affecting women of reproductive age. Unlike other pituitary tumors, the first-line management has traditionally been pharmacological rather than surgical. This preference is due to the effectiveness of dopamine agonists (DAs), which typically reduce tumor size and normalize prolactin levels in most patients. However, this does not imply that there is no room for improvement; the duration of treatment and medication side effects often lead to compliance issues among patients. Recent advances in surgical techniques and molecular biology have paved the way for the development of precision medicine, allowing for more flexible and personalized treatment strategies for prolactinomas. This review aims to enhance clinical decision-making and patient care for endocrinologists by focusing on several key factors: predictive markers of DA sensitivity, clinical characteristics and suitability for transsphenoidal adenomectomy as a potential first-line treatment, factors determining the successful withdrawal of DAs after prolonged use, safety concerns during pre/post-pregnancy and breastfeeding, and determinants of tumor aggressiveness. Through tailored therapy-a patient-focused, multidisciplinary approach- we aim to improve the management of prolactinoma patients.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to set high standards of medical care by providing a forum for discussion for basic, clinical, and translational researchers and clinicians on new findings in the fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Endocrinology and Metabolism reports new findings and developments in all aspects of endocrinology and metabolism. The topics covered by this journal include bone and mineral metabolism, cytokines, developmental endocrinology, diagnostic endocrinology, endocrine research, dyslipidemia, endocrine regulation, genetic endocrinology, growth factors, hormone receptors, hormone action and regulation, management of endocrine diseases, clinical trials, epidemiology, molecular endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, obesity, pediatric endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, signal transduction, the anatomy and physiology of endocrine organs (i.e., the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, and the gonads), and endocrine diseases (diabetes, nutrition, osteoporosis, etc.).
