A 30-year-old woman presented at 32 weeks of gestation with sudden-onset right a...

Few data are currently available on RAI’s potential impacts on testicular function.Design: A longitudinal prospective multi-center study (PHRC N°P040419) included male patients before a single radioiodine dose of 3.7 GBq of I 131 (V0), at 3 months (V3) and 13 months (V13) post treatment.<p clas...

Context: Successful used of temozolomide (TMZ) treatment has been described in 40–50% of aggressive pituitary tumour (PT) or rare pituitary carcinoma. These results are based on 50 case-reports and small series, data on long-term follow-up being rare.Objectives: To describe initial results and long-term follow-up of a large French cohort of patients presenting PT treated with temozolomide.Design: Members of the French Society ...
