Cancer occurs when cells in the body become abnormal and start to multiply without control or order. These cells form a growth of tissue, called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). A parathyroid tumor begins in one of four small glands, called the parathyroid glands. These glands are located in the neck near the thyroid gland and are part of the endocrine system. The endocrine system regulates the hormones in the body.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Some risk factors can be controlled, such as smoking, and some cannot be controlled, such as age and family history. Although risk factors can influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and communicating them to your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health-care choices.
A person with a parathyroid tumor may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, a person with a parathyroid tumor does not show any of these symptoms. The doctor may diagnose a problem if a blood test shows an increased level of calcium in the blood. Or, these symptoms may be similar to symptoms of other medical conditions. If you are concerned about a symptom on this list, please talk with your doctor.
Doctors use many tests to diagnose cancer and determine if it has metastasized (spread). Some tests may also determine which treatments may be the most effective. For most types of cancer, a biopsy (the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope) is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis of cancer. If a biopsy is not possible, the doctor may suggest other tests that will help make a diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether the cancer has metastasized. Your doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
In addition to a physical examination, the following tests may be used to diagnose a parathyroid tumor:
Laboratory tests. Many blood or urine tests may be done; however, the most common test is a serum calcium test. Elevated serum calcium levels can indicate the presence of a parathyroid tumor or hyperplasia (over-active cells) on one or more glands. Another common laboratory test is the parathyroid hormone (PTH) test, which looks for elevated levels of this hormone, and tests for phosphorus levels in the blood. Doctors may suspect parathyroid cancer if these blood tests find a very high level of calcium and or PTH.
Sestamibi scan. A sestamibi scan may be ordered if laboratory tests show an elevated level of PTH. A sestamibi scan is a procedure in which a protein, called sestamibi, is laced with a radioactive agent and is injected into the patient's vein. A parathyroid tumor will attract the agent, and the tumor will be visible on an x-ray of the neck.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
A new lump, growth or swelling that is painless, firm, and growing — the most common early sign of cancer that requires immediate biopsy.
Losing more than 5 kg without trying — a systemic sign of cancer that affects the body's metabolism and nutritional status.
Extreme tiredness unrelated to activity or sleep — caused by cancer cells consuming the body's energy resources and bone marrow infiltration.
Yellowing of skin/eyes (jaundice), blood in urine or stool, change in bowel habits persisting more than 4 weeks — potential signs of GI or GU malignancy.
Drenching night sweats, persistent low-grade fever, and recurring infections — classic 'B symptoms' of lymphoma and haematological cancers.
Raised tumour markers (PSA, CEA, CA-125, AFP), abnormal lymph nodes on CT/PET-CT, or suspicious finding on MRI requiring oncology evaluation.
