Overview

Secondary Prevention

  • Preoperative treatment of pheochromocytoma is the best way to reduce complications and improve morbidity by controlling hypertension during surgery and hypotension after it.
  • All patients with pheochromoctoma need postoperative follow up:
    • Patients should undergo baseline postoperative biochemical testing and annual lifelong tests.
    • Noncatecholamine-producing tumor should undergo annual imaging with CT or MRI to monitor for recurrence.
