Parathyroid Cancer

Parathyroid cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the parathyroid glands, which are located in the neck. This cancer can lead to high levels of parathyroid hormone and calcium in the blood, causing symptoms such as bone pain, fatigue, and kidney stones. Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, and in some cases, radiation and chemotherapy may be used to kill any remaining cancer cells. Early detection and treatment are important for improving outcomes.
