16-17 June 2025, Sao Paulo (Brazil)
The 19th International Workshop on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
Year: 2025 | Location: Sao Paulo (Brazil) | Sponsoring institution: ICESP/University of São Paulo | Organizer: Ana O. Hoff
TThe first Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) Meeting took place in Canada in 1984. At that time, the event aimed to involve the scientific community, including the world’s leading experts on MEN, in research to discover the genes involved in MEN syndromes. Indeed, this effort led to the discovery, a few years later, of the RET and MEN1 genes.
Through ongoing collaborations and intense discussions on clinically significant aspects of MEN syndromes, the efforts of this group have been translated into a series of highly referenced articles, consensuses, and guidelines. Furthermore, the focus was expanded to include other neuroendocrine tumors, either sporadic or associated with other hereditary syndromes.
This is a multidisciplinary meeting that brings together basic scientists, geneticists, endocrinologists, oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians with the aim of updating current knowledge, discussing ongoing challenges and defining new diagnostic and treatment requirements.
In 2025, with the aim of expanding borders and global collaboration, the meeting will take place in São Paulo, Brazil. We will rely on the experience of the International Scientific Committee and a local scientific committee composed of Brazilian specialists in pituitary, adrenal, parathyroid, pancreas and thyroid tumors.
