What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What Is parathyroid cancer? Understand Your Disease
Fighting cancer begins with being armed with essential information about the disease.
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare but aggressive and life-threatening form of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Comprising four tiny glands attached to the thyroid, they control the body’s calcium by producing a regulatory hormone. When a parathyroid becomes overactive and creates too much of this hormone, hyperparathyroidism occurs. The most common endocrine disorder, hyperparathyroidism can cause benign or malignant tumor growth in the neck.
If hyperparathyroidism progresses to cancer, early detection is vital to improving your parathyroid cancer prognosis when treatment is most effective.
Parathyroid Cancer Symptoms in Men and Women
Hypercalcemia, a condition in which the calcium level in the blood is above average, often signals parathyroid cancer. Signs and symptoms of hypercalcemia include:
- Weakness and fatigue
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Unintended weight loss
- Frequent urination
- Feeling more thirsty than usual
- Constipation
- Confusion or trouble thinking clearly
- Pain in the abdominal area, including the sides and back
- Unexplainable pain in the bones or a sudden broken bone
- A lump in the neck
- Trouble swallowing
- Voice hoarseness
Other health conditions may cause the same signs and symptoms as parathyroid cancer. Check with your healthcare provider if you experience any of these problems.
Parathyroid Cancer Causes
Some possible causes of parathyroid cancer include radiation exposure to the neck, which may result from treatments with x-rays or devices with similar kinds of energy. People with conditions connected to tumors of hormone-producing glands, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), have a higher risk of developing parathyroid cancer than those who do not. Last, the manifestation of Familial Isolated Hyperparathyroidism, which causes kidney stones, nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, and fatigue, may contribute to parathyroid carcinoma occurrence.
Tests for Parathyroid Cancer
Several tests help make an accurate parathyroid cancer diagnosis. First, a doctor will review any symptoms a patient may have, followed by a complete analysis of his or her personal and family medical history. Other diagnostic tests may include blood chemistry studies, parathyroid scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, ultrasounds, angiogram, and, venous (vein) sampling.
