Overview

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 has a variable natural history. Life threatening complications of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 include malignant hypertension, megacolon, and metastasis. Prognosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is mainly related to the stage-dependent prognosis of medullary thyroid cancer.

Natural History

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 has a variable natural history. Specific c-RET mutations, are associated to peculiar clinical phenotypes and thus to different courses of the disease. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 can vary from a dormant type after the surgical removal of medullary thyroid carcinoma to a rapidly progressive one with metastatic complications resulting in death.[1]

Complications

  • Common complications of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 include the following:[2]

Systemic Complications

Endocrine Complications

Genitourinary System Complications

Gastrointestinal System Complications

Prognosis

  • The following table depicts the stage dependent prognosis of medullary thyroid cancer.[5]


Stage dependant prognosis of medullary thyroid cancer
Stage Prognosis
Stage 1 Best Prognosis and low chance of recurrence
Stage 2 Good Prognosis and low chance of recurrence
Stage 3 Bad Prognosis and high chance of recurrence
Stage 4 Bad Prognosis and high chance of recurrence
