Risk Factors and Causes of Death in MEN1 Disease. A GTE (Groupe d’Etude des Tumeurs Endocrines) Cohort Study Among 758 Patients

Abstract

The prognosis of MEN1 disease has improved since 1980. Thymic tumors and duodenopancreatic tumors, including nonsecreting pancreatic tumors, increased the risk of death. Rare but aggressive adrenal tumors may also cause death. Most deaths were related to MEN1. New recommendations on abdominal and thoracic imaging are required.
