Objective.
The aim of this study is to observe clinical outcomes after more than ten years of followup in a group of patients with invasive giant prolactinomas (IGPs) treated with dopamine agonists (DAs).
Methods.
Twenty-five patients met the criteria of IGPs, among which 16 patients primarily received bromocriptine (BRC) and the other nine had undergone unsuccessful microsurgery prior to BRC treatment.
Results.
After a mean follow-up period of 135.5±4.7 months, the clinical symptoms in all patients improved by different degrees.
Tumor volume was decreased by a mean of 98.6%, and the tumors of 19 patients had almost completely disappeared.
The mean duration of treatment at maximal doses of BRC was 48.5 months.
At the last follow-up visit, nineteen patients had normal PRL levels, and 14 of these patients had received the low-dose BRC treatment (at an average of 2.9±0.3 mg/d).
Younger patients < 25 years had a significantly higher rate of persistent hyperprolactinemia after long-term BRC treatment (p=0.043).
Conclusion.
DAs are a first-line therapy for IGPs because they can effectively achieve long-term control in both shrinking tumor volume and normalizing the PRL level, and majority of patients need low-dose DA maintenance.
Younger patients are prone to persistent hyperprolactinemia despite long-term DA treatment.
