  Author(s): Javier Lobato-Polo*
  
  Objective: The aim of this study was to measure the incidence of tumor recurrence amongst patients that underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas, as well as the performance of the molecular and radiological factors that are commonly associated with recurrence. Methods: Patients of both adult and pediatric population with pituitary adenomas who were treated for the first time with endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery in a single tertiary care center, between June 2006 and December 2019 were included. Clinical features, laboratory results, imaging findings and molecular tests results were collected. Progression was measured in a follow-up MRI. Results: 88 patients were included. 19.5% presented gonadotroph adenomas and non-functional adenomas, followed by corticotrophs (17.2%) and.. Read More»
