Atout Organisation Science 18th International Workshop on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia and other Rare Endocrine Tumors 2023

Atout Organisation Science 18th International Workshop on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia and other Rare Endocrine Tumors 2023

The 18th International Workshop on Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) and Other Rare Endocrine Tumors 2023, organized by Atout Organisation Science, is a high-level scientific meeting dedicated to advancing clinical care and research for MEN1, MEN2, MEN4, and related rare endocrine neoplasms. Through expert keynotes, multidisciplinary panels, and case-based discussions, the workshop delivers cutting-edge insights spanning genetics, diagnostics, targeted therapies, and long-term management—designed for immediate impact in practice.

What You Will Learn

• How to integrate contemporary genetic testing and counseling into MEN and rare endocrine tumor care

• Best practices in surveillance strategies (age- and genotype-tailored) for high-risk patients and families

• Nuanced diagnostic pathways using biochemistry, imaging, and pathology to differentiate complex presentations

• Therapeutic decision-making across surgery, systemic/targeted therapy, and active surveillance

• Multidisciplinary coordination for lifelong follow-up, transition of care, and quality-of-life optimization

• Interpretation of emerging evidence, trials, and guidelines to personalize treatment

Event Details

• Event: 18th International Workshop on MEN & Other Rare Endocrine Tumors 2023

• Format: Sessions available on demand (where applicable)

• Program Highlights: Expert roundtables, tumor boards, clinical controversies debates, young-investigator sessions, and networking opportunities with global leaders

Who Should Attend
Endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, oncologists, medical geneticists, nuclear medicine specialists, radiologists, pathologists, pediatric endocrinologists, advanced practice providers, nurses, and researchers focusing on MEN syndromes and rare endocrine tumors. Trainees and early-career investigators seeking mentorship and exposure to state-of-the-art care are especially welcome.

Why Attend
This workshop uniquely concentrates world-class expertise on a challenging, often under-represented disease area. Attendees gain practical frameworks for complex decision-making, up-to-date knowledge on genetic and therapeutic advances, and a global network for collaboration—returning to clinic with clearer pathways to deliver safer, more precise, patient-centered care.
