MEN2

MEN2, or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2, is a genetic disorder that causes certain tumors to develop in endocrine glands, mainly the thyroid, adrenal glands, and parathyroid. These tumors can produce excess hormones, leading to health issues like thyroid cancer, high blood pressure, or abnormal calcium levels. MEN2 is inherited, meaning it can be passed from parents to children. Early detection and treatment, such as surgery or medication, are important to manage the condition and prevent serious complications. Regular medical monitoring is essential for individuals with MEN2 to address potential health risks promptly.
