New Publication on MEN3 (MEN2B)
A new publication, 'Frequency and Impact of Musculoskeletal Symptoms on Quality of Life in MEN2B' has just been published. The article is the culmination of a project by former MSc student, James Henderson from Queen Mary University in London, 'commissioned' by AMEND. Thanks to all those who participated in the research survey. We hope it will highlight the MSK problems experienced by a large number of those with the condition, and ultimately to encourage more research and improve care. The publication is Open Access and can be viewed for free.
