Most intracranial neuroendocrine tumors are located in the sellar region, and their diagnosis and treatment are complex, dangerous and challenging. Holistic therapy based on surgery has played a vital role in the treatment of intracranial neuroendocrine tumors. Also, the vigorous development of neuroendoscopy has opened a new perspective on the surgical treatment of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, craniopharyngioma, Rathke's cyst, hypothalamic glioma, and so on. Surgical treatment using neuroendoscopy for intracranial neuroendocrine tumors has attracted accumulating attention, and its application is widely used in basic and clinical research.
In this Research Topic, we welcome articles that discuss the current preoperative diagnosis, perioperative preparation and treatment of intracranial neuroendocrine tumors, with a focus on tumors wherein the sellar region.
Basic and clinical research focusing on Intracranial Neuroendocrine Tumors are welcome, potential sub-topics may include but are not limited to the following:
• Advances for surgical and non-surgical treatment of neuroendocrine tumors;
• Progression, complication, and/or risk factors associated with neuroendocrine tumors;
• Postoperative interventions of neuroendocrine tumors;
• Surgical treatment or endocrinotherapy of rare tumors in the sellar region;
• Other clinical perioperative strategies for intracranial neuroendocrine tumors, including health and nursing care.
