What is treatment for pheochromocytoma?

Removal: Making the diagnosis can be testy! some are malignant and spread, then medications may prevail. But if possible, surgical removal is reasonable unless other high risk factors.

Pheochromocytoma: Surgery is the definitive treatment. Until the tumor is removed, control of blood pressure is a top priority. Controlling blood pressure before and during surgery is the trickiest part of care. The blood pressure is therefore closely monitored through the procedure. Consultat endocrionology. Phenoxybenzamine 10-14 days preoperatively to allow for expansion of blood volume is required.

Removal: In crisis, there are medications, but in the long run one needs to have the tumor removed. The good thing is that there are some really talented laparoscopists out there that can do this minimally invasively.
