Study of pituitary gland tumors using tissue samples
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at pituitary gland tumors (called Pit-NETs) using stored tumor samples and long-term follow-up information. It aims to learn more about how these tumors behave, which might help doctors treat them better in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- There must be a stored tumor sample from your pituitary gland that can be studied.
- You need to have had regular follow-up for at least 5 to 10 years after your diagnosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether specific blood “biomarkers” can help confirm a type of cancer called NEN (neuroendocrine neoplasm) and show whether treatment is working early. It may help doctors start or adjust treatment sooner, especially for cancers that are advanced or have spread.
This study looks at neuroendocrine tumors by collecting tissue (when available) and tracking how the disease behaves over time. It may help researchers better understand these cancers, including rare cases of adrenocortical cancer.
This study looks at whether blood and tissue markers, along with imaging features, can predict how aggressive a pituitary neuroendocrine tumor is and how it may affect long-term health. It aims to improve treatment decisions by better understanding these tumors.
This study looks at how tumor and patient factors affect treatment response in well-differentiated GEP-NENs (neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive system). It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for people like you.
This research study examines the inflammatory environment inside pituitary tumors (small glands in the brain) to better understand how they grow and respond to treatment. You would have surgery to remove the tumor as part of your normal care, and researchers would study the removed tissue to learn more.
This study is a research registry that collects information from people with aggressive pituitary tumors. It may help researchers better understand these tumors by building a large, shared dataset over time.
