AMEND Co-Authors Article on MEN2
We were honoured to be invited by surgeon, Mr Tom Kurzawinski, to co-write an article for the journal, Endocrine-Related Cancer, about patient experiences of living with a RET gene mutation (causing MEN2 and MEN3). Called ‘Living with a RET gene mutation: Patients’ Perspectives’, the article, co-authored with retired Great Ormond Street Hospital Paediatric Endocrinologist, Dr Caroline Brain, explores the experiences of 4 families through diagnosis and treatment. We highlighted the need for earlier diagnosis, improved psychological support at diagnosis, the importance of wider family predictive genetic testing, and the need for families to be cared for in centres of expertise. We thank all the families involved for their input.
