Patients and caregivers from around the globe gathered to learn about the latest surgical approaches, including minimally invasive, endoscopic, and robotic techniques, to treat multiple endocrine neoplasia—a rare inherited condition that affects the body’s network of hormone-producing glands—at a recent seminar hosted by the Mount Sinai Department of Surgery. Mount Sinai is recognized as a national leader in treating this disorder. The event was organized by the American Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Support group. Participants were able to interact with surgeons, endocrinologists, and geneticists from the Mount Sinai Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Integrated Team, as well as with visiting faculty from the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
