Abstract

Purpose: This registry aims to collect information to create an appropriate platform for the development of a basis for clinical research and basic sciences to carefully study pituitary adenomas. Methods: Demographic data, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome information of the patients with a confirmed diagnosis of pituitary adenomas will be collected by investigators of the registry. Analysis of registry data generates aggregate reports summarizing pituitary tumor epidemiology, treatment, and outcome. These reports include annual public data reports. In the future, the registry program may provide a wider network in Iran and ultimately support the expansion of international studies. Conclusion: For a long time, patients with pituitary adenomas should be observed. Implementing a registration system would greatly reduce the challenges of patients’ follow-up so that their monitoring can be improved. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
