Predictive Value of Serum and Tissue Molecular Markers and Imaging Features in the Invasiveness and Prognosis of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors


Sponsor

Sun Yat-sen University

Enrollment

300 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

As the clinical manifestations of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors vary greatly, 2.7-15% of them are resistant to conventional treatments such as surgery, drug therapy and radiotherapy, and often relapse or regrow in the early postoperative period, which is invasive and has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to find imaging, histological or serum molecular markers for early prediction of the invasiveness and clinical prognosis of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. The aim of this study is to observe the changes of biomarkers and imaging features in serum or tissues of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors during the course of disease and treatment, and to explore the biomarkers and imaging features that can predict the proliferation, progression and recurrence risk of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors after medical or surgical treatment.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study aims to find blood markers and imaging features that can predict how aggressive a pituitary tumor (a growth in the small gland at the base of the brain) will be and how patients will do after treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor confirmed by imaging and hormone testing **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor has been diagnosed as pituitary cancer (not benign adenoma) - You have already received radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy - You have a known genetic syndrome causing hormone overproduction (e.g., MEN1) - You have an ectopic (outside the pituitary) neuroendocrine tumor - You had major surgery within the past month or pituitary surgery within 3 months - You have a hormone crisis, severe diabetes, uncontrolled blood pressure, severe organ damage, or serious psychiatric illness Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
