Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline on tumor volume

    Change from baseline on tumor volume measured by enhanced pituitary Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI). Record the tumor volume from enhanced pituitary MRI on every 3 month follow-up visit.

    Up to 6 months]

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change from baseline of visual acuity

    Up to 6 months

  • Change from visual field scale

    Up to 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Drug treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects who show high expression of dopamine D2 receptors in PET-MR imaging.

Drug: Drug treatment

Surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects who show low expression of dopamine D2 receptors in PET-MR imaging.

Other: Surgery

Interventions

Subjects who show high expression of dopamine D2 receptors in PET-MR imaging will be treated with Cabergoline(CAB) tablets 2mg/week or bromocriptine(BC) tablets 7.5mg/ day.The pituitary hormone levels, tumor volume, visual acuity and visual field scale will be measured every 3 months. The medication will be stopped if failure to decrease tumor size and the subjects will be advised to surgical therapy.

Drug treatment
SurgeryOTHER

Subjects who show low expression of dopamine D2 receptors in PET-MR imaging will be treated with endoscopic transphenoidal pituitary surgery .
