The possible treatment options for Acromegaly are - Medicines i.e. somatostatin analogs (Sandostatin®) - Radiation therapy targets the pituitary gland tumor to suppress the release of growth hormones - Surgery to removes pituitary gland tumor. In case of partial surgery, the patient needs to continue medicines. No medicines are needed in case of complete surgery.
