Study of invasive pituitary tumors in nearby brain areas
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies pituitary tumors that have spread into a nearby area called the cavernous sinus. It aims to learn more about these tumors by looking at donated tissue samples and health information to improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a pituitary tumor that has spread into the cavernous sinus.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have already signed a form allowing your tissue samples and health data to be used for research.
- You are willing to take part in this study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 looks at how solid tumors spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to understand this condition better by reviewing patient records.
This study is collecting information from people with rare diseases of the pituitary gland or nearby areas. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve care.
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.
This research study investigates tumors and disorders of the pituitary gland (a small gland that controls many body hormones) and related areas of the brain. You may qualify if you have a pituitary tumor or disorder, or if you have a family history of these conditions.
This trial is for people who have both a tumor in the sellar region (an area near the center of the brain) and an unruptured brain aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel that hasn't burst). It tests different treatments, like surgery or observation, to see what works best. If you have these conditions and haven't had treatment yet, you might be able to join.
