Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study monitors patients with pituitary tumors (abnormal growths on the small hormone-producing gland at the base of the brain) over time to understand which tumors grow, which stay stable, and what biological factors predict their behavior.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You have been diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma (a usually non-cancerous tumor of the pituitary gland)
- You are under active surveillance or treatment for a pituitary tumor
- You are willing to provide blood samples and undergo regular MRI scans
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- Your pituitary tumor has been fully removed and you are no longer being monitored
- You have a metal implant or other contraindication to MRI scanning
- You are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
