Differential Study of Invasive Pituitary Adenomas in the Sellar and Cavernous Sinus Regions
Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital
20 participants
Nov 1, 2024
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study involves collecting paired tumor samples from intrasellar and cavernous sinus regions of 20 invasive pituitary tumor patients, preserving them at -80°C for quality multi-omics analysis. Proteomics and transcriptomics are employed to identify molecular differences, while imaging data (MRI/CT) assesses tumor morphology and invasion. In vitro experiments and mechanistic studies validate key findings, exploring how regional molecular differences affect tumor behavior. Data integration combines multi-omics and imaging features to uncover biomarkers and pathways associated with invasiveness and regional specificity, with statistical analysis ensuring significance and reliability.
