American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Consensus Statement on Management of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1

Objective: This document presents the findings of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) on the diagnosis, management, and surveillance of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and associated tumors. The task force included a diverse group of experts in endocrinology, oncology, genetics, surgery, and patient representation. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to address key issues related to the evaluation, surveillance, and treatment of MEN1-related tumors. Methods: The task force, comprised of 9 members with expertise in endocrinology, surgery, medical oncology, genetics, and patient advocacy, collaborated to develop guidance for the evaluation, surveillance, and management of MEN1-associated tumors. Consensus was defined as ≤1 dissenting vote and significant majority as ≥75%. Relevant studies were identified through a literature review process, and consensus statements were based on the available evidence. Results: The task force deliberated on the surveillance, evaluation, and management of MEN1-related tumors including parathyroid, pituitary, and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and other tumors of relevance. The document also addresses the indications for MEN1 genetic testing. Conclusions: This consensus statement aims to offer evidence-informed guidance for health care providers involved in the care of patients with MEN1 and associated tumors. It provides guidance on diagnostic tools, genetic testing criteria, imaging techniques, surgical interventions, and posttreatment monitoring. The practical, patient-centered approach outlined in this document is intended to improve outcomes for individuals with MEN1 and other high-risk endocrine tumors.
