Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) Syndromes PDQ®

In brief

NCI's evidence-based clinical reference for healthcare professionals managing childhood Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndromes. Covers genetic basis, diagnostic criteria, surveillance protocols, and treatment approaches for MEN-related endocrine tumors in pediatric patients.

• MEN syndromes are hereditary conditions causing tumors in multiple endocrine glands, requiring lifelong surveillance.
• Early genetic testing in at-risk families enables proactive screening and timely intervention before malignancy develops.
• Multidisciplinary care coordination is essential given the multi-organ involvement across endocrinology, surgery, and oncology.
