MEN type 1 (Wermer's syndrome)

MEN type 1, or Wermer's syndrome, is a genetic condition where multiple tumors develop in different glands of the body, primarily the parathyroid, pancreas, and pituitary gland. These tumors can cause overproduction of hormones, leading to various symptoms like high calcium levels, blood sugar issues, or hormonal imbalances. The condition is inherited and tends to run in families. Early detection and ongoing management are important to monitor and treat tumors, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. Regular medical check-ups and imaging studies are typically part of managing MEN-1.
