ABSTRACT
Many hereditary and sporadic tumor and other syndromes are associated with endocrine functional and or structural abnormalities. The last few decades have yielded advancements in the field with improvements in diagnostic testing, screening guidelines and novel treatment options. In general, endocrine functional abnormalities and neoplasms share an early age of onset. There remains room for improvement as limited literature exists regarding clinical course, prognosis, and screening for earlier cancer detection. This should allow for more timely intervention, and possibly improved outcomes. The aim of this article is to summarize the current knowledge about prevalence, clinical course, and prognosis of functional and structural pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal abnormalities in patients with 17 known syndromic, mostly tumor-predisposing, diseases, wherever possible, we review screening recommendations.
