Popis: Assess cyclin A in nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) and compare its expression in non-invasive and non-proliferative tumors with invasive and proliferative tumors (12× higher risk of recurrence). Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction to analyze cyclin A using normal pituitary gland as reference. Fold change (FC) > 1 was considered as increased. Tumor invasion was based on Knosp criteria (grades 3–4 considered invasive) and proliferation on the presence of at least two of three criteria: Ki-67 ≥ 3%; mitoses > 2/10; positive p53. Both groups were compared with Mann–Whitney test considering p value
