Overview
Natural History
Complications
Prognosis
In general as a benign tumor, the prognosis of craniopharyngioma is good. The outlook depends on:
- Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery.
- The neurological deficits and hormonal imbalances caused by the tumor and the treatment
- The patient’s general health
The 5-year and 10-year survival rates, regardless of treatment given, are higher than 90%. The prognosis is very good.[1]
