Management of hyperparathyroidism (PHP) in MEN2 syndromes in Europe
نویسنده
چکیده
Hyperparathyroidism occurs in 20-30% of MEN2A syndrome patients. It is usually associated with mild disease and is frequently asymptomatic, especially in younger age. There is genotype/phenotype association and PHP is usually associated with codon 634 mutations; however association with more "rare" mutations has also been reported. The pathology of the parathyroid glands includes hyperplasia, adenoma or a combination of the two. The optimal surgical management of this entity has not been defined yet.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is a known endocrine disorder. Many years ago, the most frequent forms of clinical presentation were symptomatic renal or skeletal disease with moderate or severe hypercalcemia; however, currently, most patients have few symptoms and mild hypercalcemia. The last NIH Workshop on Asymptomatic PHP developed criteria for the management of this disease. Multiple end...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the presence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, and pheochromocytoma. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is still an underdiagnosed, or late-diagnosed condition in many areas of the world. Since 1993, when the first missense RET proto-oncogene (RET) mutations were reported in ...

The main issue Neuroendocrine tumours can be associated with genetic syndromes [1] and this fact should influence the medical procedures. In my work as a physician I met several patients with cancer in familiar history (e.g. colon cancer in the mother and grandmother) and despite the recommendations they avoid screening for the disease. In this year I was dealing with an adult male patient suff...

Hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) presents within the context of 3 genetic syndromes. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A, Sipple’s syndrome) is an autosomal-dominant genetic syndrome that includes MTC, pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). MEN2B is an autosomal-dominant genetic syndrome that includes MTC, pheochromocytoma, multiple mucosal neuromas, and a...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is an autosomal dominant tumour syndrome caused by germline activating mutations of the RET proto-oncogene. It has a strong penetrance of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and can be associated with bilateral pheochromocytoma and primary hyperparathyroidism (MEN2A) within a single patient or family. Based on the phenotype three distinct clinical forms ...
