Is the prevalence of neuroendocrine tumors caused by genetics?

Only a very small percentage of neuroendocrine tumors are genetically predisposed. Among the many types, multiple endocrine adenomas type 1 is one of the more common genetically predisposed adenomas. Most of the more common neuroendocrine tumors are disseminated, and it is rare to find a type that can be passed on to the offspring, as this disease is genetically determined by an autosomal dominant gene. This tumor mostly occurs in patients’ pituitary gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas and duodenum, etc. Its main manifestation is related to the distribution of the tumor, and the more common tumor is the parathyroid tumor, which is easy to secrete excessive thyroid hormone due to the growth and compression of the tumor, causing hyperthyroidism. So far, most of the neuroendocrine tumors are not hereditary, only a very small part of them can be inherited to the next generation with certain probability, in this case, we should go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
