Abstract
Treatment consists of surgical removal of the tumor with previous medical preparation using alpha-adrenergic blockade and, if necessary, subsequent beta-adrenergic blockade for 2-3 weeks. Treatment options in malignant pheochromocytomas that cannot be surgically resected are drug therapy with alpha-methyl-tyrosine or therapeutic doses of 131I-MIBG.
