  2. 1. Pituitary Tumor Surgery - factors influencing outcome

    Author : Tobias Hallén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery; biomarkers; glial fibrillary acidic protein; neurofilaments; tau protein; pituitary tumors; sinonasal health; tumor progression; predictive markers; MCM7; methylation patterns; NFPA;

    Abstract : Background: Pituitary tumors represent 15–20% of intracranial tumors. The majority are benign adenomas, of which 30 % are hormonally inactive, the non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs). READ MORE

  4. 2. Pituitary Tumors - Epidemiology and the Diagnostic Value of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET

    Author : Axel Tjörnstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor; pituitary tumor; somatostatin receptor imaging; gallium68; 68Ga; SSTR; SSTR-PET;

    Abstract : Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are considered common in the general population. However benign in most cases, these tumors can evoke dramatic morbidity in patients with aggressive tumor growth and/or excess hormone secretion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Tailoring Radionuclide Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumors - Bridging the Gaps

    Author : Anna Sundlöv; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 177Lu-DOTATATE; PRRT; somatostatin analogs; pituitary function; renal function; dosimetry; 68Ga-DOTATATE; individualized treatment; neuroendocrine tumors;

    Abstract : Background and Aims: Radionuclide therapy is systemic, targeted radiotherapy. As such, we can apply the basic principles of radiobiology used in everyday practice in radiation oncology, as a means of tailoring the treatment to each patient and optimizing the balance between efficacy and toxicity.

  6. 4. Human secretoglobins in normal and neoplastic cells and tissues

    Author : Anna Sjödin; Håkan Hedman; Roger Henriksson; Mårten Fernö; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; secretoglobins; mammaglobin; lipophilin; breast cancer; pituitary; sweat gland; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; onkologi; Oncology;

    Abstract : Secretoglobins is a newly described polypeptide family that has gained a lot of interest in human cancer and inflammation research. Although the first secretoglobin polypeptide was discovered more than 30 years ago, their physiological function is still not known. READ MORE

  7. 5. Non-functioning pituitary adenomas and hypopituitarism - studies on morbidity and mortality

    Author : Casper Hammarstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Non-functioning pituitary adenomas; Hypopituitarism; Glucocorticoid replacement; Growth hormone replacement; Morbidity; Mortality; Cancer; LDL-cholesterol;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Hypopituitarism is most commonly caused by benign pituitary tumors, often resulting in insidious symptoms that develop over a long time. Due to either a mass effect exerted by the tumor, or due to the surgical treatment, hormonal deficiencies may arise, requiring hormone replacement. READ MORE
