Long-term remission in an aggressive Crooke cell adenoma of the pituitary, 18 months after discontinuation of treatment with temozolomide

Clin Case Rep. 2014 Feb;2(1):1-3. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.39. Epub 2013 Dec 9.

Abstract

The clinical course of our patient, who sustained remission status for at least 18 months highlights the chance of long-term hormonal and tumor remission and demonstrates the efficacy and safety of discontinuation of temozolomide therapy. Prospective studies are required in order to define predictors of long-term remission of this promising therapeutic modality.
