Scaling down the study of pituitary tumours for better understanding their behaviour and intra-tumoral heterogeneity

While GoTs are responsible of an important morbidity, their tumorigenesis is not yet understood, and their treatment is limited to surgical resection and radiotherapy. The absence of identified driver-genes combined with their heterogeneity and silent behaviour (i.e. lack of hormone hypersecretion) limit the development of medical treatment. The current lack of re...
