Article Synopsis
- The study aims to improve the understanding of non-functioning pituitary microadenomas (micro-NFPAs) and their natural progression to inform patient care.
- Conducted across 23 endocrine departments in the UK, it analyzed clinical data from 459 patients over a median of 3.5 years, assessing tumor growth and hormonal changes.
- Results indicate a low probability of tumor growth (7.8% at 3 years) and rare development of hypopituitarism, suggesting that follow-up MRIs every 3 years and less frequent hormonal checks are adequate for managing micro-NFPAs.
