Our specialties

专家护理从准确的诊断开始. Our team uses the most advanced technologies available to deliver the right diagnosis the first time. 我们的专长是:

垂体肿瘤的高级诊断

Our experts diagnose even the most complex pituitary tumors using sophisticated equipment and unapparelled expertise. We provide:

Hormone testing: We perform blood tests that measure levels of specific hormones in the body. Our experts evaluate the results, which help us diagnose tumors and other health conditions.

垂体功能检测: 诊断垂体肿瘤及神经内分泌疾病, we offer highly specialized tests that look for certain pituitary deficiencies. 这些测试超出了标准的激素评估, enabling us to deliver the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatments.

垂体肿瘤的微创技术

Our team of neurosurgeons and neuroendocrinologists come together to perform leading-edge procedures that require less recovery time than traditional surgery. 我们专注于使用创新技术减少或消除疤痕. Our surgeons were some of the first in the nation to use these procedures. 

垂体肿瘤的靶向放疗

有些垂体瘤不能通过手术治疗. UCLA Health experts use sophisticated technology to destroy these tumors with targeted radiation therapy. This focused treatment spares healthy surrounding tissues and delivers excellent outcomes.

我们治疗垂体肿瘤

Our doctors treat many conditions that result from pituitary tumors, including:

肢端肥大症和巨人症: 导致身体分泌过多生长激素的罕见疾病

Apoplexy: 垂体瘤内出血

垂体腺瘤: 脑垂体中的非癌性肿瘤, 以及由此产生的条件, 比如库欣综合症(库欣病)

适应证: 脑下垂体附近生长的非癌性肿瘤

纳尔逊的综合症 : 脑下垂体切除后会出现的一种罕见疾病

Prolactinoma: 脑垂体瘤由脑垂体上的肿瘤引起的病症, 导致身体分泌过多的催乳素

拉克氏裂隙囊肿 : Noncancerous cysts that grow near the base of the brain and the pituitary gland

Thyrotropinoma (TSHoma): 垂体瘤一种释放促甲状腺激素的垂体瘤, 导致甲状腺过度活跃

我们提供垂体和颅底肿瘤治疗

Our team has pioneered several techniques and therapies that have redefined the way doctors across the country treat pituitary and skull base tumors. We focus on delivering the best possible outcome while reducing scarring, pain, 副作用和恢复时间. 我们提供的一些程序包括:

垂体瘤的内镜手术

We use a revolutionary technique called the expanded endonasal approach (EEA) to remove pituitary tumors without a facial incision. 我们的外科医生通过鼻子做这个手术. We use an endoscope, which is a long narrow tube with a camera and tiny tools.

Neurosurgeons and sinus (ear, nose and throat) surgeons work together to perform this procedure. UCLA Health surgeons were among the first in the country to use this approach.

手术后一两天你就可以回家了. Benefits of this minimally invasive surgery include less time in the hospital and faster recovery. 

颅底肿瘤的内镜手术

Our highly skilled surgeons also use an endoscope to remove tumors in the front section of the skull base. We use this procedure to remove sinonasal tumors (growths on the nasal cavities and sinuses) while avoiding healthy tissues nearby, 比如大脑和眼睛.

These procedures also allow us to treat life-threatening cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks in the brain. 脑脊液渗漏可能是脑外伤引起的. 为了完成这些复杂的手术，我们的外科医生与:

• Ophthalmologists
• Neurologists
• 耳鼻喉科专家

Keyhole technique

UCLA Health neurosurgeons are specially trained to perform the keyhole technique for pituitary tumors that can’t be removed through the nose. This highly complex surgery is called a minimally invasive craniotomy. Our surgeons use an endoscope to access the tumor from the side of the skull. They make a small incision in the eyebrow to make the scar less noticeable.

Novalis®形束立体定向放射治疗

诺瓦利斯系统, 是由皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康专家开发的吗, 是世界上最先进的吗. This revolutionary system delivers targeted radiation to destroy pituitary and skull base tumors.

Over the course of several treatments, UCLA Health specialists send radiation directly to the tumor. The treatments concentrate the radiation in a specific area and spare healthy brain tissue. 这是一种安全，无创的手术替代方案.
