Brain tumor detection using artificial convolutional neural networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to classify NMR images of human brains with 4 different types of tumors: meningioma, glioma and pituitary gland tumors. During the training phase of this project, an accuracy of 100% was obtained, meanwhile, in the evaluation phase the precision was 96%.

The Transition from Microscopic to Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Surgery In High Case Load Neurosurgical Centers: The Groote Schuur Hospital Experience [PDF]
, 2016 Dott and Guiot first pioneered the transsphenoidal route for pituitary tumors during the 1950s and 1960s, and the microscope was introduced for the procedure by Hardy in the 1970s.

Anti-VEGF Therapy in Refractory Pituitary Adenomas and Pituitary Carcinomas: A Review
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Most pituitary tumors are considered benign adenomas, and only 0.1%–0.2% of them present metastasis and are defined as pituitary carcinomas (PCs). Refractory pituitary adenomas (PAs) lie between benign adenomas and true malignant PCs and are defined as ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor production and regulation in rodent and human pituitary tumor cells in vitro [PDF]
, 2001 Angiogenesis, the formation of a new blood supply, is an essential step in tumorigenesis. Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be a very potent angiogenic factor in most solid tumors, little is known about its production and ...

Role of microRNA in oncogenesis of pituitary tumors and their practical significance [PDF]
Терапевтический архив, 2016 Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. These molecules are regulators of cell proliferation, metabolism, apoptosis, and differentiation.

Treatment of functioning pituitary macroadenoma with endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: a case report [PDF]
, 2021 Pituitary macroadenomas are benign tumors in the pituitary gland measuring more than 1 cm in diameter. Pituitary adenomas account for 8 to 10% of all intracranial tumors and occur primarily in the anterior pituitary lobe and rarely in the posterior lobe.

Deprenyl, an old drug with new anticancer potential: Mini review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The anticancer potential of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was observed in pre-clinical assays conducted with cell cultures and animals. L-Deprenyl (DEP) causes apoptosis in melanoma, leukemia and mammary cells. High-dose DEP has shown toxicity in mammary and pituitary cancers, as well as in monoblastic leukemia, in rats.

Advances in understanding pituitary tumors.
, 2014 Pituitary tumors are common in the general population. Since neuroimaging techniques have improved, pituitary tumors are more often diagnosed incidentally. About 16.7% of the general population show changes in the pituitary gland.
