This comprehensive reference book is meant to support clinicians in
the diagnosis and treatment of polyendocrine diseases and endocrine
neoplastic syndromes. Although a large majority of endocrine
diseases present as sporadic cases, an increasing proportion can be
identified as part of a polyendocrine or systemic syndrome. These
include autoimmune endocrine diseases, which may be part of
autoimmune polyendocrine disorders (APS) or rare complex disorders
such as POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy,
M-protein and skin changes) or IPEX (immune dysregulation,
polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked) syndromes. On the other
hand, endocrine tumors may develop in a variety of clinical
conditions, including multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes,
syndromic diseases such as McCune Albright or Carney's complex, or
peculiar familial associations such as
pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndromes. The book discusses the
significant advances that have been made in the clinical and
genetic characterization of such entities, with major implications
in terms of diagnosis and clinical management - with special
attention to emerging syndromes, familial screening ,
multidisciplinarity and multimodal treatment. This volume is
intended for clinicians, residents, specialists and physicians
involved in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients,
including specialists in endocrinology, internal medicine, oncology
, genetics and imaging.
