Differential Study of Invasive Pituitary Adenomas in the Sellar and Cavernous Sinus Regions


Sponsor

Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Nov 1, 2024

Study Type

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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting biological samples and health information from patients with pituitary tumors that have grown into the cavernous sinus (a blood-filled space at the base of the skull) to better understand why some pituitary tumors become invasive. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You have been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor that has invaded the cavernous sinus - You previously signed consent to donate biological samples or health information as part of clinical care - You are willing to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your pituitary tumor has NOT grown into surrounding structures (non-invasive) - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - Your doctor determines you are not suitable for participation for other medical reasons Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
