Both invasiveness and proliferation criteria predict recurrence of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas after surgery: a retrospective analysis of a monocentric cohort of 120 patients

Abstract

The new clinicopathological classification proves to be very useful in predicting the risk of recurrence of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas after a first surgery. In particular, grade 2b lesions showed an overall likelihood of recurrence that was 8.6 times greater than those of grade 1a.
