Abstract
Endocrine cancers comprise a large proportion of the manifestations of hereditary cancer syndromes. Genetic counselling with a medical genetics assessment is central to the clinical care of such individuals and families. With advances in genetic technologies and the increasing number of known loci, the role of the genetics team is evolving. We discuss these roles by comparing and contrasting two endocrine disorders, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and adrenocortical carcinoma.
