Improving quality of life in patients with pituitary tumours

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Evaluation of health-related quality of life (QoL) in people with pituitary tumors has received much attention over the last 10–15 years. Most of them show impaired QoL, but little is known about how to prevent impairment or how to improve QoL. Our aim is to review what is known about QoL in pituitary tumors patients and to highlight the areas worth improving, for the patient’s well-being. The article has four sections: acromegaly, Cushing’s syndrome, prolactinomas, and non-functioning adenomas. Control of comorbidities is usually an important factor to prevent QoL impairment; however, each disease has specific characteristics that should be properly addressed in order to obtain full patient recovery after successful therapy.
