Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) Age = 18 years old = 75 years old, regardless of gender; (2) Pathologically confirmed as pituitary adenoma (recurrence patients who have undergone surgery and pathology confirmed; initial treatment patients need to undergo sphenoid sinus biopsy and pathology confirmed); (3) The lesion is limited to the anterior and middle skull base (ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus, cavernous sinus, pterygomandibular fossa, etc.), without obvious visual pathway compression or intracranial invasion.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Within one month prior to screening, the subject had participated in other clinical studies; (2) Diagnosed as pituitary adenocarcinoma or combined with other malignant tumors; (3) Patients with severe acute and chronic diseases of various systems that have not been effectively controlled or have unstable conditions, including but not limited to: heart failure (NYHA heart function grading = 2), uncontrolled cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, severe arrhythmia and other serious heart disease patients; Severe active infection; Uncontrollable diabetes, hypertension/hypotension, cerebrovascular disease, gastric ulcer, respiratory disease, active autoimmune disease, etc; Any other medical history of diseases judged by the researcher as unsuitable for participation in this trial; (4) For patients with liver and kidney dysfunction, total bilirubin>1.5 × ULN, ALT and AST>2.5 × ULN; Blood creatinine>2 x ULN; (5) Neutrophil count<1.5 × 10^9/L, platelet count<100 × 10^9/L, or HGB<90g/L; (6) Pregnant, lactating women or those who are unwilling to use contraception during the trial period; (7) Researchers believe that there are other factors that are not suitable for participating in the experiment
