  • OCTOPIT (Optical Coherence Tomography [OCT] in Optimising timing of intervention for PItuitary Tumours): A pilot survey for practitioners evaluating the role of OCT in managing asymptomatic non-functioning pituitary adenomas

  • The OCTOPIT (Optical Coherence Tomography in Optimising Timing of Intervention for Pituitary Tumours) pilot survey aims to assess the current global utilisation of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in managing asymptomatic non-functioning pituitary adenomas. By gathering your expert opinions, we hope to gain valuable insights into the potential role of OCT in optimising patient care.This survey is a precursor to the OCTOPIT study, an upcoming observational, multicentre study organised by the Institute of Neurosciences in Glasgow, in partnership with the University of Glasgow. The primary objective of the OCTOPIT study is to investigate the clinical utility of OCT in guiding treatment decisions and improving outcomes for individuals with non-functioning asymptomatic pituitary adenomas.Your participation in this survey is essential to shaping the future of OCT in pituitary tumour management. We invite you to contribute your expertise and insights to this collaborative research.
