Abstract
We conclude that TMZ can be efficacious in the management of medically and surgically refractory, invasive atypical prolactinomas, resulting in normalization of the prolactin levels and control of the tumor size. We encourage the inclusion of TMZ in the management of refractory, recurrent, and invasive prolactinomas, as a fourth-line treatment strategy, after dopamine agonist treatment, transsphenoidal resection, and radiation therapy. We especially advocate the early use of TMZ for aggressive and otherwise refractory prolactinomas.
