Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia

is a rare genetic disorder that affects the functions of the endocrine glands, resulting in hormonal imbalances which can lead to diabetes and other medical conditions. While there is no cure for MEN, early detection, dietary changes, and careful medical monitoring can help control the disorder. Approximately 3 to 20 persons out of 20,000 suffer from MEN.

- While I can understand that not every patient has a good experience at Mayo Clinic or NIH, UCLA, Harvard, etc. especially if they have had an unsatisfactory clinical outcome however in my search to become more familiar with all types of Neuroendocrine Tumors. In stating this I want to inform people that Mayo Clinic has a documented history of treating neuroendocrine tumors (including carcinoid). This article is over 20 years old but it still contains relevant information about the pathology and has been referenced in countless publications over the years so I am including it on our website.
Sincerely,
