Immunotherapy combo shows promise for tough pituitary tumors
Disease control CompletedThis phase 2 trial tested two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, in 10 patients with aggressive pituitary tumors that worsened after surgery and radiation. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors or slow their growth. Researchers also monitored side…

New radiation approach aims to tame pituitary tumors with fewer side effects
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a new way of delivering radiation for people with non-secreting pituitary adenomas that came back or remained after surgery. Instead of a single high dose, the radiation was given in five smaller daily doses. The goal was to see if this approach could control tu…

New study tests better pain control during brain surgery
Symptom relief CompletedThis study looked at two ways to numb a nerve bundle in the face during pituitary gland surgery. The goal was to see which method reduces the amount of anesthesia needed during the operation. Sixty adults having this type of surgery took part. The results help doctors choose the …

New study reveals how brain scans predict surgery outcomes for pituitary tumors
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 49 people with masses in the sellar region of the brain (near the pituitary gland). Researchers compared MRI scans before surgery with the final diagnosis after surgery to see how well imaging predicts the type of tumor. The goal was to improve diagnosis and …
