Long term outcomes of pituitary adenomas in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1: a nationwide study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Historically, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-related pituitary adenomas (PAs) were considered more aggressive and treatment-resistant than sporadic PAs. However, recent studies suggest similarities in their behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of MEN1 PAs and identify predictive factors.

Methods

Nationwide multicenter retrospective cohort study of MEN1-related PAs with a minimum 1-year follow-up, collecting patient demographics, germline MEN1 pathogenic variants (PV), PA size, secretory profile, radiological characteristics, treatments, and outcomes.

Results

We analyzed 84 PAs, 69%in females and 31% in males (P<0.001), diagnosed at a mean age of 35.2±14.9 years, mostly through screening (60.7%). Median follow-up
