Neoplasia endocrina múltiple, tratamiento y actualización en pruebas complementarias

Abstract

Introduction: It is a group of heterogeneous disorders that affect two or more endocrine glands whose clinical presentation is related to an overproduction of hormones. The study of patients must be carried out systematically in order to obtain appropriate treatment options that improve the patient's prognoses. Objective: Describe the methods of diagnosis and treatment of the most common multiple endocrine neoplasias through an updated bibliographic review to provide better health care. Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out through a bibliographic review of indexed journals LILACS and PubMed. Articles published in a period between 2019 and 2024 that specifically address the diagnosis and treatment of multiple endocrine neoplasia were selected. Conclusions: It is concluded that early screening, detection and early treatment is essential for a better patient prognosis. In the case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and 2 there are established guidelines regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 4 due to limited data on the number of cases have not allowed the development of guidelines for evaluation and treatment.
