Couverture de l’ouvrage Polyendocrine Disorders and Endocrine Neoplastic Syndromes

This comprehensive reference book is meant to support clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of polyendocrine diseases and endocrine neoplastic syndromes.

 Although a large majority of endocrine diseases present as sporadic cases, an increasing proportion can be identified as part of a polyendocrine or systemic syndrome. These include autoimmune endocrine  diseases, which may be part of autoimmune polyendocrine disorders (APS) or rare complex disorders such as POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein and skin changes) or IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked) syndromes.  On the other hand, endocrine tumors may develop in a variety of clinical conditions, including multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes, syndromic diseases such as McCune Albright or Carney?s complex, or peculiar familial associations  such as pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndromes.

 The book discusses the significant advances that have been made in the clinical and genetic characterization of such entities, with major implications in terms of diagnosis and clinical management  -  with special attention to emerging syndromes,  familial screening , multidisciplinarity and multimodal treatment.

 This volume is intended for clinicians, residents, specialists and physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients, including specialists in endocrinology, internal medicine, oncology , genetics and imaging. 


Introduction.-Auto-immune polyglandular syndromes (APS): an overview.- The natural history of APS1: pathogenesis and long term follow-up.- The genetics of AIRE: an update.- Auto-antibodies in polyendocrine auto-immune disorders: an update.- Rare forms of endocrine and systemic auto-immune disorders: IPEX and “other POEMS”.- Auto-immune endocrine diseases and cancer immunotherapy.- Part 2: MEN1: an update on molecular diagnosis and clinical implications.- MEN2: an update on molecular diagnosis and clinical implications.- MEN4 and other MEN1-like syndrome.- Genetic alterations in the cAMP pathway: MAS, Carney complex (and AIP?).- Endocrine tumours associated with SDHx mutations: pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas and pituitary adenomas.- Endocrine tumours in complex genetic disorders: lessons from pheochromocytomas and hyperparathyroidism.

Pr. Annamaria Colao is full professor of endocrinology and chair of the Section of Endocrinology in the Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery at the “Federico II” University of Naples. Coordinator of national and international research projects with a scientific activity characterized by publication of more than 900 full papers in international journals (h-index 117), she has published more than 100 chapters in multiauthored books and monographs. She is one of the top Italian female scientists. Prof. Colao is responsible for Italy as member the European network ENDO-ERN (European Reference Network) for the study of rare endocrine diseases in adults, and she coordinates the regional center at the Federico II University, where she is also responsible for the European center of excellence ENETS (for the study of neuroendocrine tumors) and the center of excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of obesity CIBO (accredited with SIO and EASO). Past president of the National Council of Scientific Research Guarantors at the Ministry for University and Research, she also served as a president of the European Society of Neuroendocrinology (ENEA, 2016-2018) and is the president-elect of the Italian Society of Endocrinology for a 2-year period, 2021–2023 (the first woman in the history of the Society). She is also founder and president of Campus Salute Onlus (www.campussalute.it), a non-profit association dedicated to health. Since 2019, she has been serving as a UNESCO Chairholder – Unesco Federico II Chair “Education for health and sustainable development.” In 2020, she was awarded the prestigious “Geoffrey Harris” by the European Society of Endocrinology for her life achievements in the field of neuroendocrinology.
