Further studies on the molecular pathways of c-RET gene and its protein will help to design novel and more individualized therapeutic modalities based on genetic information. In fact, although the knowledge about mechanisms of tumor development in patients with MEN2 has grown tremendously, much work lies ahead. The final goal is to offer patients with c-RET germline mutations an optimal cancer prevention and treatment program.

Overview

Future or investigational therapies

Further studies on the molecular pathways of c-RET gene and its protein will help to design novel and more individualized therapeutic modalities based on genetic information. In fact, although the knowledge about mechanisms of tumor development in patients with MEN2 has grown tremendously, much work lies ahead. The final goal is to offer patients with c-RET germline mutations an optimal cancer prevention and treatment program.
