Objective: The aim of this study was to quantitatively estimate SSTR2 in clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas (CNFAs) with use of RNA in-situ hybridization (ISH) and quantitative real-time RT-PCR and correlate the results of both methods.Methods: A standard histological and immunohistochemical examination was performed on the resected pituitary tumour. Afterwards in-situ hybridization for somatostatine 2 receptor (SSTR2) RNA wa...
