This book describes Parathyroid Cancer, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases Parathyroid Cancer begins when healthy parathyroid cells change and grow out of control, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Four little grains of parathyroid glands At the back of the butterfly shaped Thyroid Gland They all produce a bit of parathyroid hormone To regulate the calcium in the blood and bone But when the glands produce too much And one of the gland suddenly become enlarged The gland really makes me suffer all the weakness and pain From the loss of calcium accumulated in the bones in vain Calcium and phosphorus combine to make calcium phosphate. That material gives hardness and strength to bones and dental plate Calcium is also needed to help blood to clot after an injury. It is also required for muscles and nerves to work properly Phosphorus works with calcium to do these jobs. Excess parathyroid hormone will cause the phosphorus and energy to drop No medicine has been known to cure this wayward gland. I am afraid that only the gland's removal will be the only end -An original poem by Kenneth Kee A parathyroid tumor, whether benign or malignant, can produce significant disorders since this tumor induces the blood calcium to rise, resulting in a serious disorder called hypercalcemia. The doctor may require quick treatment of hypercalcemia if the person is having life-threatening symptoms. Parathyroid cancer happens when the parathyroid cells grow out of control. Doctors do not know precisely what causes it. This is a rare type of slow-growing cancer. The precise causes for most parathyroid tumors are not known. These risk factors may raise a person's chance of developing parathyroid tumors and cancer: 1. Family history A history of parathyroid tumors in a family may increase a person's risk of developing a parathyroid tumor. A hereditary or inherited disorder termed multiple endocrine neoplasia may raise a person's risk for benign parathyroid tumors. All MEN-linked parathyroid tumors are benign. 2. Hyperparathyroidism jaw tumor (HPT-JT) This is an inherited disorder that induces higher activity in the parathyroid glands. HPT-JT is produced by mutations, or alterations, to the CDC73 gene and places people at a greater risk of developing parathyroid cancer. There are no known risk factors for people without a family history of parathyroid tumors. The parathyroid glands make a hormone that helps the body maintain and use calcium, which makes bones strong and helps muscles and nerves do their works. It is termed PTH, for parathyroid hormone. Most people with parathyroid cancer produce too much PTH that results in too much calcium in the blood (called hypercalcemia). Parathyroid scan (sestamibi/SPECT scan) This test shows if the parathyroid makes too much PTH. SPECT is a type of CT scan, and it stands for "single proton emission computed tomography." A sestamibi/SPECT scan is a procedure in which a specific protein, called sestamibi, is mixed with a radioactive material and injected into the patient's vein. A parathyroid tumor will absorb the protein and the tumor will be visible on an x-ray of the neck. Surgery is the most frequent treatment for parathyroid cancer.
