Introduction: Somatotropinomas are benign pituitary tumors with heterogeneous biological and clinical behavior. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is an environment generated by the interaction between tumor cells and the host immune system. It affects both the behavior of the tumor and the outcome of the therapy. The GNAS gene encodes the alpha subunit of G proteins associated with hormone receptors such as TSH, PTH, GHRH, FSH/lH, ACTH. Mutation of this gene has been associated...

Somatotropinomas are benign pituitary tumors, with a heterogenous biological and clinical behavior. Tumor microenvironment reflects the interaction between tumor cells and the host immune system and may regulate tumor behavior and therapy outcome. We develop a scoring system that includes clinical, pathological and immune markers to early identify fg-SRLs resistant acromegaly pts. 43 acromegaly pts were included according the following criteria (1) first line treatment with su...
