About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the safety of routine telephone assessment versus in-person assessment during a two-year period for patients with non-functioning pituitary adenomas. Secondly, to compare the quality of pituitary care in persons having biochemical assessment once versus twice a year. Thirdly, to assess the rationale of repeated assessment of pituitary function and imaging in patients with small pituitary tumors (microadenomas).
The 2 groups in the trial
- Telephone-/video follow-upTreatment being tested
Yearly routine review of patients status will take place by using telephone- or video consultation.
- StandardExisting treatment, for comparison
