Cancer - (MUL-tih-pul EN-doh-krin NEE-oh-PLAY-zhuh ... SIN-drome) A rare, inherited disorder that affects the endocrine glands and can cause tumors in the parathyroid and pituitary glands and the pancreas.

In some cases, tumors inside the pancreas can become cancerous. Also called MEN1 syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomatosis, and Wermer syndrome.
