Summary
Over the past twenty years, a progressively increasing number of markers biochemical, clinical, imaging, histopathological or genetic have been suggested to attempt to predict aggression and therapeutic outcome, both in secretory PitNETs and in non-secretory PitNETs. In recent years, the microenvironment tumor (TEM) has been extensively studied in different malignancies, promoting the development of therapies target and immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors immune system (ICI). Data on TIME in PitNETs are scarce today and derive from studies conducted mainly on heterogeneous cases for type of PitNET. Therefore, the purpose of this research project is to investigate the TIME in PitNET, to identify immune biomarkers and new molecular pathways that can promote the use of ICI and target therapies in Aggressive PitNETs.

- acceptance of participation in the study, by signing an informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria3
- History of medical therapy with analogs of somatostatin or dopamine agonist, previous the removal of the pituitary adenoma;
