Characterization of Receptors in Non-functioning Pituitary Macroadenomas

NCT00852501 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2013-04-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Characterization of receptors present in non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas by Reverse Transcriptase- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) would assist with targeted medical therapy based on the information obtained by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR.

Conditions

  • Pituitary Tumor

Interventions

OTHER

To perform RT-PCR on the tissue obtained during surgery

The performance of surgery is the standard of care in the management of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas. The tissue obtained during surgery is routinely sent for histopathological examination. A piece of the tissue will undergo receptor characterisation via RT-PCR.
