Radioactive injection shrinks brain cysts without surgery
NCT ID NCT02081768
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a treatment for people with fluid-filled cysts in the pituitary area of the brain. Instead of surgery, doctors inject a radioactive substance called 90yttrium colloid directly into the cyst to shrink it and relieve symptoms. The goal is to see if this less invasive approach works better than current options like waiting, draining, or removing the cyst.
