This study looks at how well the chemotherapy drug temozolomide works for people with aggressive pituitary tumors or pituitary cancer that hasn't responded to standard treatments like surgery or radiation. Researchers are collecting data from medical records across multiple hospi…

This study tests whether a new eye-tracking device called SONDA can accurately measure visual field loss in people with pituitary tumors. Standard visual field tests require patients to press a button when they see lights, which can be tiring and unreliable. The SONDA test instea…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (18FET) can find small pituitary tumors that standard MRI scans miss. About 30 adults with suspected hormone-secreting pituitary tumors will receive the scan. If it works, it could help doctors decide on surgery or radiation without nee…

Researchers at Odense University Hospital are testing whether monitoring brain signals during tumor surgery can help preserve functions like movement, speech, and vision. The project includes a randomized trial comparing surgery with and without motor signal monitoring, plus obse…

This study looks at a surgical technique called the extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA), which removes skull base lesions through the nose. The goal is to see how completely the tumor can be removed and how safe the procedure is. Adults with certain skull base tumors, s…

This study looks at how to safely place a breathing tube in people with acromegaly, a condition that can cause changes in the face and airway. It compares two methods: direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy. The goal is to find which method gives a better view of the airway a…

This study looks at whether giving patients clear, standardized instructions before and after pituitary surgery can improve their recovery. Researchers will compare hospital stay length, complication rates, and unplanned readmissions in 102 adults having elective surgery. The goa…

This early-phase trial tests an artificial intelligence system that watches live video from pituitary tumor surgeries performed through the nose. The AI identifies anatomy, instruments, and surgical steps, displaying its analysis on tablets for the surgical team (not the lead sur…

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the treatment strategies for tumor in sellar region with unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the Chinese population. The main question it aims to answer is: For patients with tumor in sellar region combined with unruptured i…
