PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Description of recent outcomes and approaches to the treatment of patients with de-novo and recurrent acromegaly. RECENT FINDINGS: Radiosurgery for acromegaly results in a higher likelihood of remission and an earlier time to remission than does conventional radiotherapy. Somatostatin analogs results in control of acromegaly and one half of patients. Combining treatment with pegvisomant and somatostatin analogs results in overall improved quality of life.
